AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit

The AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit offers a reliable method for the quantification of L-carnitine levels in various biological samples. L-carnitine plays a crucial role in fatty acid metabolism, and its measurement is essential for studying energy metabolism, lipid oxidation, and related metabolic disorders. This assay kit provides both colorimetric and fluorometric detection methods, allowing researchers to accurately assess L-carnitine content with flexibility.

Key Features:

  • High Sensitivity: The assay kit can detect low levels of L-carnitine, ensuring accurate quantification in biological samples with minimal interference.
  • Flexible Detection: Offers both colorimetric and fluorometric detection methods, providing flexibility to researchers based on their experimental needs and available instrumentation.
  • Wide Application: Compatible with various sample types, including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates, the AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit offers versatility in L-carnitine-related research.
  • Quick and Easy: With a streamlined protocol, you can obtain results rapidly, saving time and resources in the laboratory.

Assay Principle:

The assay kit measures L-carnitine levels based on its enzymatic conversion to generate a product that reacts with a probe to produce a colorimetric or fluorometric signal. The intensity of the signal is directly proportional to the concentration of L-carnitine in the sample, allowing for precise quantification.

Applications:

  • Fatty Acid Metabolism: Study the role of L-carnitine in fatty acid transport and oxidation processes in various tissues and cells.
  • Metabolic Disorders: Investigate L-carnitine deficiency or excess in metabolic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity.
  • Energy Metabolism: Assess the impact of L-carnitine supplementation on energy metabolism and physical performance in athletes and clinical populations.

Kit Contents:

  • L-Carnitine Assay Buffer
  • L-Carnitine Enzyme Mix
  • L-Carnitine Probe
  • Microplate (96 wells)
  • Detailed Protocol

AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit Protocol:

[Please note that this protocol is a general guideline, and you should always refer to the specific instructions provided in the kit manual for accurate and detailed information.]

Materials Needed:

  • AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit
  • Biological samples containing L-carnitine
  • Microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance or fluorescence
  • Pipettes and tips
  • Microcentrifuge tubes

Protocol:

Standard Curve Preparation:

  • Prepare a series of standard solutions containing known concentrations of L-carnitine.
  • Dilute the L-Carnitine Assay Buffer and L-Carnitine Enzyme Mix as instructed in the kit manual.
  • Add the standard solutions to each well of the microplate to generate the standard curve.

Assay Plate Setup:

  • Label the microplate wells according to your experimental design, including wells for your samples, standards, and controls.
  • If using controls, prepare control samples without L-carnitine to serve as background controls.

Sample and Standard Addition:

  • Add 50-100 µL of your prepared samples and standard solutions to the appropriate wells on the microplate.
  • Ensure that the final reaction volume in each well is consistent.

Assay Reaction:

  • Prepare the reaction mixture by combining the L-Carnitine Assay Buffer and L-Carnitine Enzyme Mix.
  • Add the reaction mixture to each well of the microplate containing the samples and standards.
  • Incubate the microplate at the appropriate temperature (as specified in the kit instructions) for a recommended time to allow the enzymatic conversion of L-carnitine.

Colorimetric or Fluorometric Measurement:

  • After the incubation period, measure the absorbance or fluorescence at the appropriate wavelength using a microplate reader.

Data Analysis:

  • Calculate the L-carnitine levels in your samples based on the absorbance or fluorescence readings and the standard curve generated from the standard solutions.

Results Interpretation:

  • Interpret and analyze your results according to your research objectives.
  • Observe any variations or trends in L-carnitine levels among your samples.

Data Presentation:

  • Prepare your data for presentation or publication, and include the appropriate statistical analysis if required.

Cleanup:

  • Dispose of all waste materials, including used assay components, according to your laboratory's safety protocols.
  • Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the AffiASSAY® L-Carnitine Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay Kit for any kit-specific details or variations in the protocol.
  • Additionally, ensure that you adhere to the best practices and safety guidelines in your laboratory while conducting the assay.
