Types of Biochemistry Reagents

Whether you are testing for blood coagulation or the presence of protein in the blood, Biochemistry Reagents can help you get the answers you need. Whether you're looking for a method to test for Glutathione Peroxidase or the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, you'll find a reagent to fit your needs. In addition to the standard kits you'll find in most laboratories, you can also find specific kits for a number of other tests.

Glutathione Peroxidase control

Several studies have investigated the enzymatic and non-enzymatic glutathione peroxidase control in biochemistry. The genes encoding glutathione peroxidase enzymes are unique to mammals and they are found in different cellular locations. There are a number of isozymes based on the substrates and cell type. The most abundant isozyme is GP-1. It reduces lipid peroxidation products in biological membranes in vivo.

The study showed that enzymatic glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly decreased in patients with tuberculosis. This was due to the decreased levels of both non-enzymatic and enzymatic glutathione antioxidants.

Whether you are trying to optimize your transfections or looking for a transfection reagent for your cells,  2000 CD Transfection Reagent is an excellent choice. It can be used to transfect cells in various tissue culture formats. It is stable for up to six hours at room temperature.

Transfection reagents are used to transfer DNA into cells. There are a wide variety of reagents available on the market. Each reagent has been tested for functional and microbial contamination.  2000 CD reagent is tested for absence of microbial contamination. The transfection reagents are also tested for compatibility with different cell lines.

Glycated Serum Protein

Glucose reactions with macromolecules are an inevitable metabolic process. However, under abnormal conditions, glucose reactions may be accelerated and ketoamines and other advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may be formed. In addition, genetic variations may affect regulation of glycation.

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA) is the most extensively studied glycated protein. It is formed by condensation of glucose with amino acid residues, and represents an average blood glucose over time. However, it is not reliable to predict complications.

Glycated serum protein (GSP) has been proposed as an alternative glycemic indicator. Although it is not a clinically approved glycemic indicator, it may be useful as an adjunct measure of diabetic complications. Glycated serum protein may also be used to monitor glycemic control in patients with blood transfusions, as well as in patients with hemolysis.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a biochemical assay that measures antibodies and antigens. It was first described in 1971 by Eva Engvall and Peter Perlmann. They were researchers at Stockholm University. They received the German scientific award for Biochemische Analytik in 1976.

ELISA is a method for detecting an antigen, protein, or glycoprotein in a sample of liquid or blood. The assay uses an antibody, conjugated to an enzyme, to detect binding of an antigen to the plate. It is commonly performed in 96-well polystyrene plates.

Serology test reagents

Various types of reagents are used in serology tests. These reagents are designed to bind with certain types of antibodies. These antibodies are then detected in the patient's blood. A positive result indicates that the patient has an antibody against the pathogen. A negative result indicates that the patient has no antibody against the pathogen.

Some of the types of reagents used in serology tests are enzymes and reagents. Enzymes bind to specific types of antibodies, whereas reagents trigger chemical reactions.

A serology test detects antibodies that have been produced during an immune response. This test is useful in detecting autoimmune diseases.

Analytical chemistry reagents

Using analytical chemistry tools and techniques in the context of biosciences is one of the most exciting areas of research. These advances provide new methods to study biological systems, and also give scientists access to information about the structures of proteins and other biological analytes.

An analytical chemist works to improve the way biological research is conducted. The most exciting advances are the ones that solve challenges in biology for which no analytical tools are currently available. Analytical chemists also use existing tools in new ways.
