Product overview
Triglyceride Assay Kit (ab65336) is a sensitive, easy assay to measure triglyceride concentration in mammalian samples. In the triglyceride assay protocol, triglycerides are converted to free fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is then oxidized to generate a product which reacts with a probe to generate color (spectrophotometry at λ= 570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm).
Chinese protocol available. See Protocols section below.
Triglyceride assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add assay buffer and lipase, and incubate for 20 min
- add triglyceride reaction mix and incubate for 60 min
- analyze with microplate readerPlease note: the general range is 0-10 nmol (colorimetric) and 0-1 nmol (fluorometric).
If your sample contains reducing substances, they are likely to interfere with the assay. In this case, we recommend using Triglyceride Assay Kit (Fluorometric, Reducing samples) ab178780.

Relevance
Triglycerides are the main constituent of vegetable oil, animal fat, LDL and VLDL, and play an important role as transporters of fatty acids as well as serving as an energy source. Triglycerides are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, after which both can serve as substrates for energy producing and metabolic pathways. High blood levels of triglycerides are implicated in atherosclerosis, heart disease and stroke as well as in pancreatitis. -
