QuickZyme Total Collagen Assay
This assay kit is for the quantitative measurement of total collagen. It can be used to measure all forms of collagen in samples like tissues, tissue extracts, cell cultures etc, and is species independent. The kit is based on detection of collagen specific hydroxy-proline by a color reaction, has a rapid and simple protocol (overnight hydrolysis of collagen, followed by a <2 hrs assay procedure) and requires no special equipment.
