The Total Collagen assay kit is based on the quantitative colorimetric determination of hydroxyproline residues, obtained by acid hydrolysis of collagen. Usually for this analysis upon hydrolysis removal of HCl is needed, which is a time-consuming step and / or needs special equipment. The QuickZyme Total Collagen assay is the only hydroxyproline-based assay which does not need this laborious step, resulting in a fast (<2 hrs) and easy (96-well plate format) assay following the hydrolysis step.
