Glycerol is a central component for the synthesis of all lipids. It is the backbone in triglycerides and other phospholipids, which play an important role in cell membrane structure. Its low toxicity allows glycerol to be widely used in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. AkrivisBio’s PicoSense Free Glycerol Assay is a simple, sensitive way to measure trace amounts of glycerol in biological samples containing reducing substances that interfere with traditional oxidation-based assays. The sensitivity of the assay is below 50 picomoles of glycerol per sample.
