The Fructan Assay Kit is suitable for the specific measurement of fructan in plant extracts, animal feed and food products containing starch, sucrose and other sugars. It is used in three validated methods for the determination of fructan: AOAC method 999.03 (foods), AOAC method 2018.07 (Animal Feed) and AOAC method 2016.14 (infant formula and adult nutritionals).

New, improved procedure.

In the most recent development, a recombinant endo-levanase has been incorporated into the fructanase mixture, extending the use of the method to the measurement of levan-type fructans as are present in grasses such as timothy, cocksfoot, ryegrass and red fescue.

The method described in this booklet employs ultra-pure, recombinant enzymes and specifically measures fructans including inulin-type fructans from chicory, dahlia, jerusalem artichoke; highly branched fructans from onion and wheat stems and leaves; and levan-type fructans from pasture grasses such as timothy grass. The enzymes employed are completely devoid of contaminating enzymes active on β-glucan or gluco-oligosaccharides.

Permagen’s most universal ring magnet plate. From Low elution PCR applications up to 2 mL deep well, the X96 has you covered. No need to purchase two separate plates anymore. Smaller inner ring magnet allows for volumes as low as 5 µL (from PCR plates), larger outer magnet handles up to 2 mL deep well assays

ANSI/ SBS Footprint (127.75mm x 85.50mm) to fit into any automated liquid handling robot on bottom, SBS/ SLAS fit on top to accept any microplate

Integrated Cushion base for maximum recovery. Helps aid in set-up, robot positioning inconsistencies, and labware consumable differences 

Features include solid aluminum alloy construction and hard coat anodized finish for years of trouble-free use, and compatible with any magnetic beads

The Kit method contains magnetic particles in an optimized binding buffer to selectively bind DNA fragments (>100bp) and larger to paramagnetic beads. Excess primers, nucleotides, salts, and enzymes can be removed using a simple washing procedure.

Advantages

• High recovery efficiency – up to 80% DNA recovery
• General – recover DNA from gel or enzyme-driven reaction solutions such as PCR

Storage and Stability

MagPure Particles should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 24 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
