Glucose (C6H12O6) is a key diagnostic parameter for many metabolic disorders. Increased glucose levels have been associated with diabetes mellitus, and hyperactivity of the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands. Decreased levels are found in insulin-secreting tumors, myxedema, hypopituitarism, and hypoadrenalism. Simple, direct, and high-throughput assays for measuring glucose concentrations find wide applications in research and drug discovery. BioAssay Systems glucose assay kit III uses a single Working Reagent that combines the enzyme reaction and color reaction in one step. The color intensity of the reaction product at 565 nm is directly proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample.
