Product Description
Nitrone spin trap for the specific in vivo or in vitro detection of short-lived superoxide, hydroxyl and thiyl radicals. Forms distinguishable adducts which can be measured by EPR spectroscopy. Unlike with DMPO, the superoxide adduct does not decay into a hydroxyl adduct and it has a much longer half-life (t1/2=23min). Low paramagnetic impurities. No further purification required.
