AOX-2 (1kit)

Description

The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) Antioxidant Assay Kit can be used to determine the total antioxidant capacity of biological fluids, cells, and tissue. It can also be used to assay the antioxidant activity of naturally occurring or synthetic compounds for use as dietary supplements, topical protection, and therapeutics. The assay measures the loss of fluorescein fluorescence over time due to peroxyl-radical formation by the breakdown of AAPH (2,2-azobis-2-methyl-propanimidamide, dihydrochloride). Trolox [6-Hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid], a water soluble vitamin E analog, serves as a positive control inhibiting fluorescein decay in a dose dependent manner. The ORAC assay is a kinetic assay measuring fluorescein decay and antioxidant protection over time.
