QUANTITY: 96 wells (~80 tests)
APPLICATION: For the rapid measurement of antioxidant capacity in a variety of sample types, including plasma, serum, urine, saliva, and cell lysates.
SHIPPING: SHIPPED ON BLUE ICE
LONG TERM STORAGE: +4°C
Product Description
This antioxidant assay is designed to measure the overall antioxidant capacity within a given sample. The assay relies on the ability of antioxidants in the sample to inhibit the oxidation of ABTS in comparison to trolox, a water-soluble tocopherol analog. By quantifying the cumulative effect of all antioxidants present, more relevant biological information is acquired compared with the measurement of individual components alone. The assay relies on the ability of antioxidants in the sample to inhibit the oxidation of ABTS® (2,2’-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulphonate]) to ABTS®·+ by metmyoglobin.

Product Description
Fluorescent reagent (Ex(max): 490nm; Em(max): 515nm) for the detection of highly reactive oxygen species (hROS). Immediately reacts with hROS such as hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrite and hypochlorite, and the fluorescence intensity greatly increases. Use of APF together with HPF (Prod. No. ALX-620-074) also allows for specific detection of hypochlorite  (-OCl) to elucidate reliable the roles of -OCl in biological systems such as neutrophils. In addition, peroxynitrite can be detected in distinction from nitric oxide and superoxide since APF does not react with nitric oxide, superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, APF is resistant to light-induced autooxidation. Not for sale in Japan.

General Information
BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION Precautions for use:
1. Prepare the diluted solution just before use and use it up.
2. The dilution buffer should be adjusted to pH 7.0-7.5. Please note that bovine serum albumin (BSA) and phenol red might interfere with the fluorescence measurement.

Light-induced autoxidation (Figure 3)
After adding HPF or DCFH-DA (10µM), the cells were incubated for 30 min at 37°C in the dark. The fluorescence images were obtained with a confocal fluorescent microscope (excitation wavelength: 488nm, fluorescence emission wavelength: using a 515nm barrier filter). The cells were laser-irradiated again at 488nm for 10 sec and fluorescence images were obtained again (see Figure 3).

Fluorescence images of HPF- or APF-loaded neutrophils (Figure 4)
Neutrophils were obtained from porcine blood and suspended in Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer (114mM NaCI, 4.6mM KCI, 2.4mM MgSO4, 1.0mM CaCI2, 15mM NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4, pH 7.4) and kept on ice until use. Then they were seeded onto a glass-bottomed dish. The cells were loaded with HPF or APF (10µM) by incubation for 30min at room temperature and then stimulated with PMA (including 2ng/ml; 0.1% DMF as a cosolvent). Fluorescence images were obtained with a confocal fluorescent microscope before and 10 min after the stimulation with PMA (excitation wavelength: 488nm, fluorescence emission wavelength: 505-550nm; using a 505-550nm barrier filter).

Reaction timecourse
Fluorescence probe reagents (final 10µM; 0.1% DMF as a cosolvent) were added to sodium phosphate buffer (0.1M; pH 7.4) containing HRP (0.2µM). H2O2 (final 1µM) was added at the time indicated by the arrow. The fluorescence intensities were measured at excitation wavelength of 490nm and fluorescence emission wavelength of 515nm. Relation between the amount of added H2O2 and fluorescence increase in the HRP/H2O2 system.

Product Description
Redox-cycling agent that induces intracellular superoxide anion formation and, depending on the concentration, induces cell proliferation, apoptosis or necrosis. DMNQ does not react with free thiol groups, is non-alkylating and adduct-forming in contrast to other quinones. Thus, DMNQ is a valuable tool for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in order to study the role of ROS in cell toxicity, apoptosis and necrosis.
