Unfortunately we have not validated K-YBGL for use with algae or seaweed samples.
K-YBGL method is suitable for the measurement and analysis of 1,3:1,6-beta-glucan, 1,3-β-glucan and α-glucan.
If this is present in this matrix and is above the detection limit it will be analysed. This may require some optimisation.
Please note the k-YBGL assay kit is not suitable for the analysis of 1,3:1,6-β-glucan in the presence of other β-glucans, for example, cellulose (1,4-β-D-glucan). Therefore if there is cellulose or other b-glucans in the algae / seaweed sample this kit will not be suitable.
We do not have a solution for measurement in the presence of cellulose.
