Benjamin. S. Szwergold

The most accurate methods right now are high tech LC/MS/MS procedures. I am working to develop simple colorimetric protocols to accomplish the same.

Christian Q. Scheckhuber

LC-MS-MS is the most powerful method to determine AGEs as Benjamin suggested. But there are also kits based on ELISA (for example http://www.uscnk.com/uscn/ELISA-Kit-for-Advanced-Glycation-End-Product-AGE-1110.htm).

Cheers, Christian
