LipoQ™ enables a simple, rapid detection of lipids presented in a variety of formats.

LipoQ™ uses the sulfo-phospo-vanillin method to measure the lipid content of samples. Unsaturated fatty acids within a sample will react with concentrated sulphuric acid, which in combination with phospho-vanillin, will form a pink colored solution. The intensity of the pink color formed is determined by the total lipid concentration within the sample, enabling a reliable colorimetric assay that can be read using a plate reader.

Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform 100 tests, and includes standards.
