Detection principle

Under the alkaline condition, the sodium tetraphenylborate reacts with the potassium ions in the sample to form the potassium tetraphenylborate which is white and small particles with small solubility. Potassium tetraphenylborate particles are in a stable suspension state in the solution. The turbidity is proportional to the potassium ion concentration in the sample and potassium content can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 450 nm.

B Zeng et al investigate the mechanism of dextran sodium sulfate potentiating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Potassium (K) level in cell supernatant was determined using potassium turbidimetic assay kit (E-BC-K279-M).

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the formal experiment and the detection range (0.01-0.80 mmol/L).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type

Dilution factor

Human serum

1

Rat serum

1

RAW 264.7 cellular supernatant

1

Human plasma

1

Human milk

1

10% Rat liver tissue homogenization

2-4

Note: The diluent is deionized water.
