IDO assay standard (L-Kynurenine).
By Debanjan Mukhopadhyay on 01/11/2018
Assay Type: Ex Vivo
Species: Human
Cell Line/Tissue: Human foreskin fibroblast

I use this product as a standard for Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase assay. This product worked excellent as a standard for Tryptophan catabolism assay.

This product is very pure and you can use it from a range of 5 uM to 1500 uM.
