Free Cholesterol (FC) Assay Kit is an assay kit for the detection and quantification of Free Cholesterol (FC) concentrations in serum, plasma and tissue homogenates using a microplate reader. Free cholesterol produces 4-cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide under the oxidation of cholesterol oxidase. In the presence of 4-aminoamylpyridine and phenol, peroxidase catalyze hydrogen peroxide to form red quinone compounds of benzoquinone imine phenizone. The color depth of the generated quinones is directly proportional to the cholesterol content.
