Invitrogen™ Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) Colorimetric Assay Kit
Description
The Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) Colorimetric Assay Kit is a highly reliable and sensitive assay designed for the quantitative measurement of TAS in serum, plasma, urine, cellular supernatant, and animal and plant tissue samples. Antioxidants are substances that help protect cells against damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can lead to oxidative stress and various diseases..
The assay uses ABTS, which is oxidized to ABTS•+ (a blue-green solution) and then further reduced back to colorless ABTS in the presence of antioxidants. The total antioxidant status can be calculated by measuring the absorbance of ABTS•+ at 660 nm.
Key features
• Simple and fast protocol—user-friendly, requiring minimal hands-on time and providing rapid results within a short incubation period
• Broad range of kits—across key analytes and targets within the most important metabolic pathways
• Consistent—strict quality control criteria to ensure reproducible and reliable results
