The β-Glucan Assay Kit (Yeast and Mushroom) is designed for the indirect measurement of 1,3:1,6-β-glucan in a wide range of sample types, including mushroom, yeast, and algae preparations that may contain starch, maltodextrins, glycogen, sucrose, and trehalose.

As the β-glucan testing landscape continues to evolve, so too has our assay methodology. In response to shifting industry needs and valuable customer feedback, we’re pleased to introduce a major update to the kit effective October 1, 2025, bringing enhanced accuracy, broader compatibility, and improved lab efficiency.

Refined Accuracy: Updated methodology improves accuracy, often yielding higher β-glucan results in mushroom samples, while maintaining assay integrity and reliability.

Simplified Workflow: Fewer pipetting steps reduce hands-on time and lower the risk of manual error, enhancing overall ease of use.

Broader Compatibility: Protocols now available for both liquid and solid samples.

Reduced Reaction Time: Condensed run time: from ~ 7 h to ~ 4 h 25 min, improving lab efficiency and throughput.

EnzyAlpha^™: Optimised α-glucan degradation cocktail, now enhanced with α-amylase designed to improve performance in complex matrices.

Algal β-Glucan Measurement: Expanded validation now includes algae-derived β-glucan as a verified matrix.
