For the specific assay of L-ascorbic acid in beverages, meat, flour, dairy and vegetable products. Content:40 assays per kit

Colourimetric method for the determination of L-Ascorbic Acid 
in foodstuffs, feed, wine and other materials

Principle:
                        (5-methylphenazinium methosulphate)
(1) L-Ascorbic acid + R-H₂ + MTT → dehydroascorbate +                                                                                         MTT-formazan + H⁺
                            (ascorbic acid oxidase)
(2) L-Ascorbic acid + ½O₂ → dehydroascorbate + H₂O

Kit size:                             40 assays (manual) / 400 (microplate)
/ 400 (auto-analyser)
Method:                             Spectrophotometric at 578 nm
Reaction time:                   ~ 8 min
Detection limit:                  0.175 mg/L
