Accuplex are building a range of assay kits for siderophores detection and detection of other iron chelation molecules. Siderophores are low molecular weight compounds released by most bacteria and fungi that serve primarily to transport iron into the microorganism.
Iron is an essential element necessary for the growth and survival of the microorganism. In a low iron environment, microbes generate and secrete siderophores which then scavenge for free iron. The siderophore chelates iron from the surrounding environment and the chelated iron-siderophore complex is then reabsorbed by the microbe enabling it to grow and proliferate.
Siderophores offer targets for multiple applications including novel biomarkers of infection, iron chelation molecules to treat iron overload in thalassemia or hemochromatosis, as well as several other applications.
As siderophores come in several different types, Accuplex will supply a range of siderophore assay test kits that facilitate total siderophore detection as well as identify the type of functional groups.
The SideroTecTM-Hydroxamate kit is a simple one step rapid siderophore assay that facilitates identification of the hydroxamate type siderophores produced by a microorganism. Reagents are ready-to-use and enable results within 5 minutes.
The SideroTec™-Catecholate kit completes the set of rapid siderophore assay kits that help identify and classify catecholate siderophores generated by a micro-organism. The siderophore detection assay provides reagents in a ready-to-use simple three step assay format, with results available in 5 minutes.
