Megazyme K-PHYT: Phytic Acid Assay Kit
Product code: K-PHYT
The Phytic Acid test kit is a simple method for the measurement and analysis of phytic acid/total phosphorus in food and feed samples. This method does not require purification of phytic acid via anion-exchange chromatography making it amenable to high numbers of samples.
