Superoxide dismutase plays a crucial role in the balance between oxidation and antioxidation in body. SOD can clean superoxide anion free radicals to protect cells from damage. The assay kit adopts xanthine oxidase method (hydroxylamine method) to determinate SOD activity. This method can determinate SOD activity in serum (plasma), cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion, ascites, renal dialysis fluid, urine, semen, red blood cell, white blood cell, platelet, myocardial cells, tumor cell culture, kinds of animals and plant tissues and cells and subcellular levels (mitochondria and microsome), and in microbial, drugs, food, beverage, cosmetics. Hydroxylamine method not only can determinate the total SOD activity, but also Mn-SOD and Cu, Zn-SOD activity.
Sample Type:Serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion, ascites, renal dialysis fluid, urine, semen, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, myocardial cells, tumor cells and a variety of plant and animal tissues and cells, subcellular level (mitochondria and microsome).
Intended Use:This kit adopts the xanthine oxidase (hydroxylamine method) to measure SOD activity. The activity of SOD in Serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion, ascites, renal dialysis fluid, urine, semen, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, myocardial cells, tumor cells and a variety of plant and animal tissues and cells, subcellular level (mitochondria and microsome) can be tested by this kit. And the activity of SOD in microorganisms, medicine, food, beverage, cosmetics and other samples can be tested by this kit too.
Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
