Polymyxin assay kit

Polymyxins are polypeptide antibiotics that bind lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and disrupt bacterial membranes.

They are used for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. Since polymyxins increase

permeability of the bacterial membrane system, they are also used for enhanced release of secreted toxins

from bacteria. The MicroGram Polymyxin Assay Kit (Catalog number MPX200) is designed for measurement

of micrograms of polymyxins.  The assay is based on increase of fluorescence at 535 nm of the assay

regent in the presence of polymyxins.  The assay kit can be used for measurements polymyxin

concentrations in drug discovery, drug development and pharmaceutical samples.  

The MicroMolar Polymyxin Assay Kit (Catalog number MPX200) provides the reagent for measurement of 200

samples using 96-well plates.  Cuvettes may also be used for measurements.
