Application
- For quantitative determination of lactose and evaluation of drug effects on lactose metabolism.
Key Features
- Sensitive. Use as little as 20 µL samples. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 17 to 2000 µM lactose for colorimetric assays and 6 to 100 µM for fluorimetric assays.

More Details
Lactose (C12H22O11), also called milk sugar, is a disaccharide that consists of β-D-galactose and α/β-D-glucose through a β1-4 glycosidic linkage. Lactose is the major sugar and makes up 2–8% of milk. Simple, direct, and high-throughput assays for lactose determination find wide applications. BioAssay Systems assay uses specific enzyme-coupled reactions in which lactose is cleaved and the resulting galactose forms a colored product. The color intensity at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at 530nm/585nm is directly proportional to the lactose concentration in the sample.
