Detection principle

Pyruvic acid can react with chromogenic agent and the reaction product is reddish brown in alkaline solution. The depth of color is directly proportional to the pyruvate content. The pyruvate content can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 505 nm.

Images

The concentration of pyruvic acid was increased significantly after treated with nanoparticles.

S J Tseng et al developed a nanoparticle for non-small cell lung cancer virotherapy. Pyruvic acid levels in mouse tumor cell culture medium was determined using pyruvic acid colorimetric assay kit (E-BC-K130-M).

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.003-2.0 μmol/mL).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type	Dilution factor
Human serum	1
Mouse serum	1
Mouse plasma	1
10% Mouse liver tissue homogenate	1
10% Rat kidney tissue homogenate	1
10% Rat heart tissue homogenate	1

Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).
