Zinc Assay Kit ab102507 is a convenient colorimetric assay
in which Zinc binds to a ligand with development of absorbance at 560 nm.
The zinc assay can be used with biological samples such as
serum, plasma, csf or urine with detection sensitivity 0.2 μg/ml (~1-3 μM).
Zinc assay protocl summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 10 min
- analyze with a microplate reader
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company
and was previously called K387 Zinc Colorimetric Assay Kit. K387-100 is the
