Detection principle

The principle of the ABTS method for determining the T-AOC is as follows. ABTS is oxidized to green ABTS+ by appropriate oxidant, which can be inhibited if there exist antioxidants. The T-AOC of the sample can be determined and calculated by measuring the absorbance of ABTS+ at 414 nm or 734 nm. Trolox is an analog of VE and has a similar antioxidant capacity to that of VE. Trolox is used as a reference for other antioxidant antioxidants. For example, the T-AOC of Trolox is 1, then the antioxidant capacity of the other substance with the same concentration is showed by the ratio of its antioxidant capacity to Trolox antioxidant capacity.

T-AOC was significantly increased in C-RIS Group (light green bar). (P<0.05)

J A Garcia-Partida et al investigate the effect of mango leaf extract for improving brain healthy situation. Total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in rat hippocampus was determined using T-AOC colorimetric assay kit (E-BC-K219-M).

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.047-1.50 mmol/L).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type

Dilution factor

10% Rat brain tissue homogenization

1

10% Rat liver tissue homogenization

1

10% Rat kidney tissue homogenization

1

10% Epipremnum aureum tissue homogenization

1

Human serum

1

Human saliva

1

Human urine

1

Rat serum

1

Note: When the sample was water soluble, the diluent is PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4); 

When the sample is insoluble, the diluent is 80% ethanol.

Asked: Why did it turn black when I added ABTS working solution?

adminSubmitted [ Aug 01 2022 ]

Answered: The reason may be that the ABTS working solution had been put away for too long after being prepared. It is recommended to prepare fresh working solution with needed amount before use.
