DMPD ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY ASSAY KIT This kit is recommended for antioxidant capacity measurements in foods, beverages and biological samples. It measures the antioxidant activity of compounds that are able to transfer hydrogen atoms. In our assay a solution of DMPD in the presence of a suitable oxidant solution, can form a stable and colored radical cation which shows an absorbance at 553 nm. Antioxidant compounds which are able to transfer a hydrogen atom to DMPD•+ quench the color and produce a discolorations of the solution which is proportional to their amount. DMPD (uncolored) + Oxidant...

PROTEIN CARBONYLATION ASSAY KIT The kit is designed for the measurement of oxidized proteins in many kind of samples. Protein carbonylation occurs providing an integrated assessment of oxidative damage. The most employed method for evaluation of the content of carbonylated proteins is based on 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH). This molecule reacts with carbonyl groups leading to the formation of the stable 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone. The dinitrophenyl group (DNP) can be detected and quantified spectrophotometrically at 365–375 nm. 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)+ Carbonyl  Imine (hydrazone)...

The kit is designed to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in biological samples. SOD Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) is a sensitive kit using WST-1 that produces a water-soluble formazan dye upon reduction with superoxide anion. The rate of the reduction with a superoxide anion is linearly related to the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and is inhibited by SOD. Therefore, the inhibition activity of SOD can be determined by a colorimetric method. Xanthine + O2  Uric Acid + H2O2 + 2O2- (Xanthine Oxidase) 2O2- + Tetrazolium Salt (WST-1)  WST-1 Formazan (colored, λMax = 450 nm ) Standard...

BRADFORD PROTEIN ASSAY KIT KB03003 The kit is designed for protein quantification in biological samples. The method is based on an absorbance shift of the dye Coomasie Brilliant Blue in which under acidic conditions the red form of the dye is converted into its blue form to bind to the protein being assayed. The formation of the dye-protein complex takes about two minutes and remains stable for an hour, so the procedure is very fast and the time for trial is not limiting. Protein (basic and aromatic side chains) + Coomasie G-250 ^ Protein- Dye Complex ( XMax = 595 nm ) *_j Plasma, serum, urine,...

BCA PROTEIN ASSAY KIT KB03005 The BCA Protein Assay is a detergent compatible formulation based on Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) for the colorimetric detection and quantitation of total protein. The principle of the BCA assay relies on the formation of a Cu2+ protein complex under alkaline conditions, followed by reduction of the Cu2+ to Cu+. The purple colored reaction product of this assay is formed by the chelation of two molecules of BCA with one cuprous ion. This water-soluble complex displays a strong absorbance at 562 nm. Protein (Cysteine, tyrosine, tryptophan amino acid residues) + Cu...
