More Details

• ASPARTATE , a nonessential amino acid, is a precursor to several other amino acids and is an excitatory neurotransmitter. Aspartate is involved in the urea cycle and gluconeogenesis. BioAssay Systems Aspartate Assay Kit provides a simple, direct and automation-ready procedure for measuring aspartate concentration. Aspartate is converted into pyruvate which is then oxidized with the conversion of the dye into a colored and fluorescent form. The color intensity of the oxidized dye at 570 nm or fluorescence intensity at λex/em = 530/585 nm is directly proportional to the aspartate concentration in the sample.
