Folates play an important role in the synthesis of nucleic acids and some amino acids and gained recently increased interest because they belong to the group of antioxidative vitamins.Traditional methods are mostly microbiological ones, but also TLC and HPLC are applied. These methods are time consuming and need complex equipment. This test kit allows the detection (2.5 to 4 hrs. incl. sample preparation) of folic acid in supplemented food which is more rapid compared to traditional techniques (24-48 hrs).<br>
This test is designed for detection of substances within food products. This is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or prevent any diseases or other conditions.
