High Throughput Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit
High Throughput Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit Summary
Analyzes Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity in cell extracts using a 96-well plate.Why Use the HT Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit?
In the Superoxide Dismutase Assay, ions generated from the conversion of xanthine to uric acid, and hydrogen peroxide by xanthine oxidase (XOD), convert NBT to NBT-diformazan. NBT-diformazan absorbs light at 550 nm. SODs reduce superoxide ion concentrations and thereby lower the rate of NBT-diformazan formation. The extent of reduction in the appearance of NBT-diformazan is a measure of SOD activity present in experimental samples. The assay is free of interference by other catalytic activities, and is ideal for assaying SOD in mammalian cell lysates. The kit contains the proper lysis buffer and the reagents needed for 100 experimental tests, 50 positive controls, and 50 negative controls. Unlike some other assay kits for SOD, this system is not greatly disturbed by trace metals. Each assay requires only about five minutes, and after a simple calculation, the percent inhibition of the formation of NBT-diformazan by SOD is converted to the relative activity of the sample.

FAQs
-
Can this kit be used to measure serum or plasma samples?
This kit may be used to measure SOD activity in serum or plasma samples within the detection range of the assay.
-
Can this kit be used to measure saliva samples?
This kit may be used to measure SOD activity in saliva samples within the detection range of the assay.
-
What is the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of this kit?
An exact LLD has not been established for this kit. However, the lowest amount that is recommended for the standard curve is 0.1 Unit of SOD. The standard curve is based on a purified enzyme.
-
Can frozen tissues be used in this assay?
We have not tested frozen tissue in this assay. The protocol is based on isolating SOD from fresh tissue. We recommend isolating the cytosolic extracts prior to freezing the samples. Fresh tissue is recommended because single cell suspension from tissue extracts is needed to eventually prepare cytosolic extracts. It is very difficult to make single cell extracts from frozen tissue and most of the cells have likely already lysed from freezing.
-
Which form of SOD does this kit detect?
This kit detects all SOD forms.
