Enzyme kinetic measurements performed on BMG LABTECH´s FLUOstar OPTIMA
BMG LABTECH

BMG LABTECH has developed a new evaluation software feature able to calculate the Km value as well as the maximal velocity (Vmax) from an enzymatic kinetic measurement.
Enzymes differ in their affinity to specific substrates and this affinity is represented by the Michaelis-Menten constant Km. The new software feature for enzyme kinetic offers fast and easy calculation of Km and Vmax. Available plots are the common Michaelis-Menten, Lineweaver-Burk, Eadie-Hofstee, Scatchard and Hanes kinetic f

Measurement of Phenolic Compounds in Red Wines Using the SpectraMax® Plus384 Microplate Reader
Molecular Devices

Measurement of tannin, iron-reactive phenolics, anthocyanin and polymeric pigment in red wine is an important part of quality control in the wine industry. Precise and reliable measurement of phenolic compounds in wine is critical for making decisions during fermentation, maceration, pressing and blending. Harbertson et al. developed a comprehensive red wine phenolics assay in 2003.1 Traditionally this assay is performed using a cuvette-based UV-vis spectrophotometer. It is a time-consuming and
