Description:

Folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) belongs to one of the antioxidative water-soluble B vitamins. Folic acid is an essential vitamin and human need to get it from the diet. It is naturally abundant in many foods but it is particularly enriched in dark green vegetables and liver. The main functions of folic acid are to synthesize nucleic acids and metabolize amino acids for cell division. Folic acid is also suggested to be critical for promoting fertility and preventing heart diseases. Folate deficiency may cause diarrhea, depression, confusion, anemia, and fetal neural tube defects. The traditional techniques/instruments (HPLC or GC-MS) for detecting folic acid are complex, expensive, laborious, and time-consuming. Immunoassay techniques, such as ELISA, are commonly preferred as a simple, reliable and rapid methods. BioVision’s Folic Acid ELISA Kit is a competitive-based ELISA that detects folic acid in tissues, urine and serum. This detection kit offers ready-to-use reagents, and can quantify a broad range of folic acid (2 – 250 ng/ml) within 90 minutes.
