Vitamin C (VC) Assay Kit

Vitamin C (VC) Assay Kit

Product Introduction

Vitamin C, as a key antioxidant, plays multiple physiological roles in the body, including promoting collagen synthesis, enhancing iron absorption, and neutralizing free radicals. Accurate determination of vitamin C levels is essential for assessing an individual's nutritional status and overall antioxidant capacity.

 

Detection Principle    

In the presence of phenanthroline, VC can reduce trivalent iron ions to divalent iron ions, which can form a pink complex with phenanthroline under certain conditions, with a maximum absorption wavelength at 536 nm. The content of VC can be calculated by colorimetry.

When this kit is used to test tissue samples, the total protein concentration needs to be measured. We recommend the protein concentration determination kit (BCA method) (BC00006) produced by EnkiLife.
