Alcohol / Ethanol Assays

Cell Biolabs’ Alcohol Assay Kit measures primary alcohols by an enzymatic, oxidation reaction, producing hydrogen peroxide which reacts with the kit’s probe.

These assay kits are available with either colorimetric or fluorometric detection. The colorimetric assay has a detection sensitivity limit of ~30 µM (0.0001 % w/v) and the fluorometric has a detection sensitivity limit of ~15 µM (0.00007 % w/v). They can detect various primary alcohols and are not ethanol specific.
