Magnesium Assay Kits

Magnesium assay kits are available from several suppliers to measure levels of magnesium in biological samples. Magnesium is involved in many biological functions, including enzyme activity, nucleic acid stability, and cellular signaling. Deviations in normal levels of magnesium are associated with various metabolic and endocrine disorders. Some magnesium assays employ a glycerol kinase-linked reaction to generate an intense change in color, which is directly proportional to Mg2+ concentration. Other assays oxidize magnesium ions to react with a chromogen. Magnesium assay kits can be useful in enzyme studies and in detecting metabolic imbalances.
