Skip to main content

This Mitochondrial Complex III Activity Assay kit (ab287844) is based on this reduction of cytochrome c through the activity of Complex III. The absorbance of reduced cytochrome c can be measured at 550 nm. It is a fast and reliable method to determine the activity of complex III in isolated mitochondria. The kit can detect as low as 10 mU/ml and is linear up to 30 mU/ml.

Individual kit components also available for purchase with a minimum order of 20 units. Contact us to discuss your needs.
