    Product Description

    The measurement of FFA can be useful in determining metabolic status. Cayman’s Free Fatty Acid (FFA) Fluorometric Assay provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for measuring free fatty acids in plasma, serum, and urine. The FFA Fluorometric Assay utilizes a coupled enzymatic reaction that results in generation of the highly fluorescent product resorufin.

    Needed but not supplied: Please download the kit booklet to verify if UltraPure Water (Milli-Q or equivalent) or any other components are needed for this assay.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
