Methanol is a simple alcohol comprised of a hydroxyl group and a methyl group. It is typically used in antifreeze fuel and other products. Methanol is often used as a solvent or building block for chemical synthesis. Many anaerobic bacteria produce methanol. Methanol is found at very low levels in alcoholic beverages. Small amounts of methanol are present in normal healthy human individuals. However higher levels of methanol are toxic. Methanol poisoning typically occurs following ingestion of a methanol-containing product. The basis of the toxic effects of methanol is attributed to format to which methanol is eventually converted. Elevated format levels can lead to confusion blindness and death. Due to its high toxicity methanol is used as an additive in many industrial alcohol products to prevent human consumption. The Methanol Quantification Assay Kit provides simple and sensitive procedure for measuring methanol in various sample types. Methanol concentration is determin
