Citrate Assay Kit is an assay kit for the detection and quantification of Citrate concentrations in serum, plasma, animal tissue homogenates and mitochondria using a microplate reader. In biochemistry, citric acid is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and plays an important role in metabolism. Citric acid levels in blood and urine are affected by factors such as age, gender, diet, citric acid precursors, and parathyroid hormone and sex hormones. In acidic conditions, Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr3+, which reacts with citric acid. The reaction product has a characteristic absorption peak at 545 nm, and therefore the content of citric acid in sample can be calculated by measuring the absorbance value at 545 nm.
