Micro Plant Proanthocyanidins Assay Kit
| Cat# | PBK-013 |
| Specification | 100T/48S |
| Unit | Box |
| Description | Oligomeric Proantho Cyanidins (OPC) are a class of polyphenolic compounds of flavanol monomers and their polymers, which are widely found in various organs of plants, with strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, and are widely used in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and health care industries. |
| Test Method | Spectrophotometer/Microplate Reader |
| Storage Conditions | 2-8℃ |
| Shelf Life | 6 months |
| Detection Principle | Under acidic conditions, resorcinol and resorcinol on the A ring of plant proanthocyanidins condense with vanillin to produce colored compounds, which have characteristic absorption peaks at 500 nm, and the measurement of the 500 nm light absorption value can be used to calculate the content of proanthocyanidins in plants. |
| Self-prepared Laboratory Supplies and Equipment | Balance, centrifuge at room temperature, visible spectrophotometer/enzymometer, micro-quartz cuvette/96-well plate, distilled water, 30-50 mesh sieve and distilled water. |
