Related Product Information for Chromium assay kit
Background: Chromium is widely used in various industries such as electroplating, leather tanning, chrome paint, dying, hardened steel, ceramic and glass industry. Chromium exists in two stable oxidation states, hexavalent Cr(VI) and trivalent Cr(III). Cr(VI) is produced solely by industrial processes, whereas in nature, chromium exists in its trivalent form. Cr(III) is generally regarded as nontoxic due to poor absorption. Cr(VI) is considered a pulmonary carcinogen and has tested positive in genotoxicity tests. It is one of the most serious pollutants in many water streams due to its carcinogenic potential. Most countries apply a legal limit of 50-100 ug/L Cr in drinking water. Chromium Microplate Assay Kit provides a sensitive colorimetric means to directly measure Cr(VI) in a sample. In the assay, Cr(III) can be converted to Cr(VI) with nitric acid/hydrochloric acid, thus allowing the determination of Cr(III) or total Cr [Cr(III) + Cr(VI)] in the sample. Cr(VI) forms a stable complex with a specific chromogenic dye. The optical density at 540nm is directly proportionate to the Cr(VI) concentration in the sample.

Product Notes
The General Chromium (Catalog #AAA263948) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA263948 Assay Kit recognizes General Chromium. AAA Biotech's Chromium can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, FA (Functional Assay). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Chromium for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Chromium, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
