Notes
This Total Glycosaminoglycans Assay Kit (ab289842, K2085) can measure the total amount of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including sulfated GAGs such as chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate etc. and non-sulfated GAGs such as hyaluronic acid in various biological samples. In this assay, GAGs interacts with a specific probe to form a colored product that is measured by absorbance at 400 nm. The colored signal is directly proportional to the GAG concentration in the sample. The kit offers a simple, rapid, sensitive and convenient way to measure the total amount of GAGs in various sample types. It can detect as low as 1 μg of chondroitin sulfate or hyaluronic acid under the assay conditions.
