The Pyruvate-Glo™ Assay is a fast and sensitive method for detecting pyruvate in various biological samples, such as cultured cells, media and serum. Based on bioluminescent technology, the Pyruvate-Glo™ Assay can detect subtle changes in glycolysis and mitochondrial metabolism in just 75 minutes. Its streamlined sample preparation protocol involves acid treatment and neutralization directly in the assay wells, eliminating the need for cell collection, centrifugation and spin columns. The assay is adaptable to a 384-well format, facilitating quick analysis of many samples.
