Product Name

CheKine™ Micro Plant Flavonoids Assay Kit

Catalogue No

KTB1530

Applications Notes

The kit provides a simple method for detecting the flavonoid content in plant tissues. In the alkaline nitrite solution, the flavonoids and aluminum ions in the plant samples form a red complex with a characteristic absorption peak at 502 nm. The flavonoid content of the sample can be calculated by measuring the absorbance of the sample extract at 502 nm.

Background

Flavonoids are a class of polyphenyl compounds, which are secondary metabolites of plants. They have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hypolipidemic effects on the human body, scavenging hydroxyl free radicals in the body and preventing cancer. Quercetin is a typical flavonoid.
