The L-Fucose test kit is a simple, rapid and reliable method, for the measurement and analysis of L-Fucose in plant extracts, biological samples and other materials. This kit can be used in the measurement of α-fucosidases that do not act on chromogenic substrates.
Suitable for manual, auto-analyser and microplate formats.

UV-method for the determination of L-Fucose in plant material,
polysaccharides, pharmaceuticals and other materials

Principle:
(L-fucose dehydrogenase)
(1) L-Fucose + NADP⁺ → L-fucono-1,5-lactone + NADPH + H⁺

Kit size:                           100 assays (manual) / 1000 (microplate)
                                         / 1020 (auto-analyser)
Method:                            Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time:                  ~ 10 min
Detection limit:                 15.4 mg/L
Application examples: 
L-Fucose is present as the main component in fucoidan (a marine
polysaccharide), foods, pharmaceuticals and other materials
(e.g. biological samples, etc.)
Method recognition:        Novel method
