More Details

What is the mechanism of this kit?

This assay is based on barium in the kit forming barium sulfate with sulfate in a sample, which is insoluble. This insoluble compound is measured turbidimetrically.

What samples are compatible with this kit?

This sample has been tested with rat, human, and fetal bovine serum. It has also been tested with human urine. For other samples, we would recommend looking at the “Product Citations” tab to check whether the kit has been used by researchers for your particular sample. Additionally, our technical support can provide suggestions for how to process a sample before running the assay.
