Ethanol Assay Kits

Ethanol assay kits are available from several suppliers to determine ethanol concentrations in various biological samples. Ethanol is a simple organic alcohol that is naturally metabolized through a complex metabolic pathway involving several enzymes. Many ethanol assays utilize alcohol dehydrogenase to catalyze the oxidation of ethanol, which forms NADH. NADH then reacts with a chromogen to produce a measurable color change that is directly proportional to the concentration of ethanol. Other assay kits may also use alcohol oxidase to generate hydrogen peroxide, which reacts with a probe to produce color change or fluorescence. Quantification of ethanol is important in areas such as drug discovery, clinical studies, and industrial production. Visit the ethanol assay kit suppliers for more details, including kit components.
