DESCRIPTION
Phosphate (Pi) is one of the most important ion species in nature. Phosphate
is present in all biological systems. It is a major constitutent in minerals
and fertilizers, and is a component of industrial wastewater. Thus accurate
determination of phosphate concentration will find numerous applications in
pharmacology, biomedical research, clinical chemistry, industrial process
monitoring, environmental monitoring, etc.
Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring phosphate
concentration in biological and environmental samples are becoming popular.
BioAssay Systems' phosphate assay kit is designed to measure phosphate ion
directly in samples without any pretreatment. The improved Malachite Green
method utilizes the malachite green dye and molybdate, which forms a stable
colored complex specifically with inorganic phosphate. The intensity of the
color, measured at 650nm, is directly proportional to the phosphate
concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation substantially reduces
interference by substances in the raw samples.
