| Intrument | Spectrophotometer(554 nm) |
| Assay Time | 30 min |
| Validity | 6 |
| Assay Type | Quantitative |
| Sample Type | Serum,plasma,urine |
| Synonyms | D-aldopentose |
| Detection Principal | D-xylose can produce furfural by dehydration in strong acid solution. The generated furfural reacts with Phloroglucinol to form pink compounds. The content of D-xylose can be calculated by colorimetric assay at 554 nm. |
