The β-Glucan Assay Kit (Yeast and Mushroom) is suitable for the indirect measurement of 1,3:1,6-β-glucan in yeast and mushroom preparations containing starch, glycogen, sucrose and trehalose.
We are happy to announce a new and improved procedure!
Trehalase enzyme has now been added to the β-Glucan Assay Kit (Yeast and Mushroom), further increasing the accuracy of β-glucan measurement for certain samples. The addition of trehalase removes instances of overestimation of β-glucan content in samples containing trehalose. Please refer to the assay protocol and the FAQ here for more information.
This product replaces the Enzymatic Yeast β-Glucan Assay Kit (K-EBHLG) as the method of measurement for β-glucan measurement in yeast samples. See here for more information.
