چکیده

A microtiter plate adaptation of the well-known dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) colorimetric method, for measurement of reducing sugars, is described. This method allows a substantial volume reduction of the reagents and a rapid analysis of a large number of samples, having an economic cost benefit and a positive impact on the environment. Therefore, it is well suited as an high-throughput technique for reducing sugars determination.

Adaptation of the Nelson-Somogyi reducing-sugar assay to a microassay using microtiter plates.

The Nelson-Somogyi assay for reducing sugars was adapted to microtiter plates. The primary advantages of this modified assay are (i) smaller sample and reagent volumes, (ii) elimination of boiling and filtration steps, (iii) automated measurement with a dual-wavelength scanning TLC densitometer, (iv) increased range and reproducibility, and (v) automated colorimetric readings by reflectance rat...

Direct hapten coated immunoassay format for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides.

A novel immunoassay format employing direct coating of small molecular hapten on microtiter plates is reported for the detection of atrazine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D). In this assay, the polystyrene surface of microtiter plates was first treated with an acid to generate -NO2 groups on the surface. Acid treated plates were further treated with 3-aminoprpyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to f...

The Estimation of Sugar in Diabetic Urine, Using Dinitrosalicylic Acid

Dinitrosalicylic acid was introduced by the author in 1921 as a reagent for the estimation of sugar in normal and diabetic urine.1 It has also been found to be a valuable reagent for the detection of aIbumin in urine and has been used for the determination of the titratable alkali of the blood.2 During the past 3 years several improvements have been made in the method for the determination of s...

Biphasic Microtiter Method for Campylobacter Recovery and Enumeration

We developed a biphasic method for recovery and enumeration of campylobacters. The biphasic system was composed of 96-well microtiter plates containing Campy–Line agar prepared 2¥ for all ingredients except for 1¥ agar (0.1 mL per well). Samples were prepared in either twofold or fivefold dilution series across separate 96-well plates and directly transferred (0.1 mL) to the agar-containing mic...

Light transmission aggregometry using pre-coated microtiter plates and a Victor X5 plate reader

BACKGROUND Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) can be performed with microtiter plates (96-well LTA). When conducting LTA, an agonist is added to platelet-rich plasma and the sample is shaken for minutes after which absorbance readings are done. Platelet aggregation is detected as decrease in absorbance. However, the classical method is cumbersome and therefore microtiter plates can be used f...
