| Background | Carotenoids are lipid-soluble compounds with nutritional properties that provide natural pigments to plants and animals. They are important antioxidants and have the ability to convert into essential vitamins. Carotenoids can prevent damage to cells, tissues, and genes, enhance the body's immune system, resist infections, reduce the risk of cancer, and protect the heart. CheKine™ Mirco Carotenoid Content Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient, and rapid method for measuring carotenoid content, suitable for plant tissue samples. The principle involves carotenoids in plants are found in various yellow plastids or chromoplasts, such as in yellow leaves, yellow flowers, yellow and red fruits, and yellow roots. Samples are extracted using solvents to separate and extract carotenoids. Carotenoids have a specific absorption peak at 440±10 nm. In higher plants and algal microorganisms, chloroplasts also contain carotenoids. Carotenoids primarily absorb blue and violet light, while chlorophyll a and b absorb both red and blue-violet light. Therefore, for tissues containing chloroplasts, to exclude the interference from chlorophyll a and b on carotenoids, the content of chlorophyll a and b is first calculated using empirical formulas. Then, the carotenoid content is determined. For tissues without chlorophyll, the carotenoid content can be directly calculated using the empirical extinction coefficient of carotenoids. |

1.The species of antibody reactivity should be the sample species that can be matched normally after Abbkine R&D experts have passed strict scientific verification. If your sample is not within the range of reactivity, in order to improve the efficiency and results of your experiment, it is not suggested to try other species. Otherwise, it may lead to sample mismatch and affect the effect of your experiment.
2.Please aliquot the antibody received as soon as possible and store it at -20℃, avoid repeated freezing and thawing, and use it within one year.
