Phenolic Compounds Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab273293) provides a quick, sensitive and selective method for measuring the total amount of phenolic compounds in various biological samples. In this assay, phenolic compounds couple with diazonium salts under alkaline conditions to form a stable diazo chromophore, detectable by absorbance at 480 nm. Unlike the classical Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) protocol for measuring phenolic compounds, our assay is not affected by non-phenolic reducing substances such as sulfites, reducing sugars or ascorbic acid. The assay is high-throughput adaptable and can detect concentrations of phenolic compounds as low as 0.02 mM catechin equivalents (CEs) from a variety of plant and food-based samples.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K527 Phenolic Compounds Assay Kit (Colorimetric). K527-200 is the same size as the 200 test size of ab273293.
