Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (Fluorescent), Cell-based (CAT#: CB-P160-K) Datasheet

Product Type
Kit
Description
The Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (cell-based) is an easy-to-use non-radioactive kit that can image and accurately measure glucose uptake in cultured cells in response to insulin and growth factors. The glucose uptake assay protocol is based on fluorescent glucose analogs, just as glucose can be absorbed into cells by glucose transporters. However, this glucose analog cannot be fully used in glycolysis due to its modification and therefore accumulates in the cell. The Fluorometric produced by fluorescent glucose analogues is directly proportional to the uptake of glucose by cells, and can be used to measure glucose uptake by Fluorometric microscopy and flow cytometry.
