Kit size:                            * 115 assays (manual) / 1150 (microplate) 
                                          / 1150 (auto-analyser)
* The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. 
This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave
Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
Method:                            Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time:                  ~ 12 min (L-arabinose)
                                           ~ 6 min (D-galactose)
Detection limit:                 0.58 mg/L (L-arabinose)
                                           0.69 mg/L (D-galactose)
Application examples: 
Analysis of hydrolysates of oligo- and polysaccharides (e.g. arabinan,
arabinoxylan, galactan, arabinogalactan), milk, dairy products, foods
containing milk (e.g. dietetic foods, bakery products, baby food, 
chocolate, sweets and ice-cream), food additives (e.g. sweeteners),
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other materials (e.g. biological
cultures, samples, etc.)
Method recognition:          Novel method
