Glucose (C6H12O6) is a key diagnostic parameter for many metabolic disorders. Increased glucose levels have been associated with diabetes mellitus, hyperactivity of thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands. Decreased levels are found in insulin secreting tumors, myxedema, hypopituitarism and hypoadrenalism. Simple, direct and high-throughput assays for measuring glucose concentrations find wide applications in research and drug discovery. This glucose assay kit II uses an enzyme to reduce NAD. The produced NADH, measured at 340 nm, is proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample;. Sample types: cell culture media, food and beverages, plasma, serum, saliva, urine
