  • Product overview

    Glucose Assay Kit (ab65333) measures glucose in various biological samples (e.g., serum, plasma, body fluid, food, growth medium, etc.).


    Glucose Enzyme Mix specifically oxidizes glucose to generate a product which reacts with a dye to generate color (λ = 570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm). The generated color and fluorescence is proportionally to the glucose amount.


    The method is rapid, simple, sensitive, and suitable for high throughput. The assay is also suitable for monitoring glucose level during fermentation and glucose feeding in protein expression processes. The kit detects 1-10000 µM glucose samples.


    If you have reducing substances in your samples, we recommend using Glucose Detection Kit II (ab102517).

    Shao et al investigated the functional outcome of long- term curcumin supplementation on glucose homeostasis. Glucose metabolism was determined in animals with low fat diet (LFD), high fat diet (HFD) and HFD with curcumin feeding  using ab65333. Intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests(IPITT) were conducted at the end of the 26 weeks. It was concluded curcumin improves insulin sensitivity and disposal of glucose.

I would like to confirm that this kit is not affected by the presence of phenol red in the media. I am using 1 ul of cell culture media with phenol red.


The signal contributed by the phenol red in 1ul samples will be insignificant compared to the signal generated by the glucose in your samples. You should include a control consisting of 1ul of culture medium and subtract the absorbance or fluorome...

Will peroxide interfere with this assay?

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, peroxide is known to interfere with this Glucose Assay Kit. I hope this helps, please let me know if you need any additional information.

Can this kit distinguish between glucose and 2DG?




This kit is only specific for D-glucose.

I want to do the glucose test on plasma from infected patients. As our plate reader is outside the BSL, we're not allowed to take out material without inactivating it. Could you tell me whether it is possible to inactivate samples with H2SO4 or PFA bef...

I have been in contact with the lab and unfortunately, we have not tested whether the addition of acids such as H2SO4 or PFA will interfere with the assay.

They have suggested that in this situation, perhaps it is best if you deproteinise you...

We need to measure free glucose in purified polysaccharide samples (bacterial derivation). Is kit ab65333 appropriate for use with our sample or will the enzyme break down larger polysaccharides, leading to false positive/high readings?

We have not tested glucose in purified polysaccharide samples. The first step of the reaction is specific for glucose, so we expect this to work. It's possible that there will be some background, but this can be corrected for by subtracting the backgro...

Our samples are not compatible with the oxidase/peroxidase-based glucose assay ab65333. What is the principle of the ab102517 assay?

The main difference between these two glucose assays is that in ab65333 the probe reacts with hydrogen peroxide and gets oxidized to produce colored compound detectable at 570nm or at Ex/Em 535/587nm. In ab102517, the probe reacts with NADH (produced d...

I want to measure glucose being released into media. How should the glucose contained in media be removed prior to the measurements?

I suggest exchanging the medium before collecting samples. That is, culture the cells in medium with a glucose/energy source and then exchange the medium with glucose-free medium such as Krebs-Ringer-Phosphate-HEPES (KRPH) buffer for example, and then ...

Two questions:
Question1:
Ab: 65333: Wants to confirm that the minimum sample volume is .5 uL that have a minimum of 1uM
Question 2:
Ab 65336: What is the minimum and maximum volume of serum that can be tested directly.

Thank you for your enquiry.


Answer 1: Yes, the minimal serum volume for this assay is 0.5 µl. The lower detection limit of this assay is 1 µM. That does not mean that you have to start with a particular conc of the sample. Mo...

This kit would be used to measure glucose in the cell culture supernatant. The number of cells in culture would have an effect on the glucose consumption, but the amount of time the cells are cultured and the specific cell line you are testing for will...
