  • Product overview

    Acetylcholinesterase Assay Kit (Fluorometric -Red) ( ab138873) uses a red indicator to quantify the choline produced from the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by AChE through choline oxidase-mediated enzyme coupling reactions.


    The assay can be used for monitoring and quantifying AChE activity in blood, cell extracts or other solutions. The fluorescence intensity of the indicator is proportional to the amount of choline formed, which is proportional to the AChE activity.


    The assay is an optimized “mix and read” assay using a simple one-step fluorometric protocol to detect as little as 0.01 mU AChE in a 100 µl assay volume (0.1 mU/ml). The assay can be performed in a 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format, and can be easily read with a fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 540/590 nm or with an absorbance microplate reader at OD = 575 nm.


    Acetylcholinesterase assay protocol summary:
    - add samples and standards to wells
    - add assay mixture and incubate for 10-30 min
    - analyze with microplate reader

  • Notes

    Please note this product does not differentiate between acetylcholesterase (AchE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity as both enzymes can hydrolyze acetylcholine.

    If you are looking for a colorimetric kit, we recommend Acetylcholinesterase Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab138871). If your plate reader has a filter to measure green fluorescnce (Ex/Em = 490/520 nm), you can use Acetylcholinesterase Assay Kit (Fluorometric - Green) (ab138872).
