Fungal Glucan Detection Kits

The cell walls of many fungi contain significant levels of (1→3)-β-D glucan, which is shed into the environment. The presence of this glucan can be used as an indicator of fungal contamination in culture and reagents. The kits contain a specific chromogenic reagent for glucan quantitation. They are available with diazo-reagents for endpoint assays or without diazo-reagents for kinetic assays. They are also available as a serum kinetic assay kit.
