TBARS Assay Kit

Measurement of Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) is the gold standard for assay of oxidative stress. The OXI-TEK (TBARS) is a calibrated kit designed for the measurement of oxidative stress in biological samples. This assay may be used for testing antioxidants and drugs.

DNA Isolation Kit

The DNA Isolation Kit provides a technique for isolation of genomic DNA from whole blood, cultured cells and tissues. This procedure provides a rapid method for non-toxic extractions, yielding large quantities of genomic DNA of high purity with minimum DNA damage. Extracted DNA is suitable for several applications including oxidative DNA damage, amplification, restriction enzyme digestion, sequencing, Southern blot analysis and other DNA analysis procedures. (The development of this product was supported in part by grants from the National Cancer Institute (R42 CA80451) and the New York Center for Biotechnology.)

Arylesterase/Paraoxonase Assay Kit

The Arylesterase/Paraoxonase Assay kit provides a simple, reproducible method of quantifying the activity of serum arylesterase/paraoxonase (PON). This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphates and aromatic carboxylic acid esters of fatty acids. PON has been shown to be closely associated with HDL, may be a potent inhibitor of LDL oxidation, and may have a peroxidative role due to its active hydrolysis of H2O2.

Total Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit

The Total Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit provides an indirect method of quantifying the activity of total glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in a large number of biological specimens including plasma, WRBC, tissues and yeast. This antioxidant enzyme catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and hydroperoxides formed from fatty acids, thereby effectively removing toxic peroxides from living cells and protecting them from potential damage by free radicals. The Kit provides a stable and highly reproducible method of quantitating total glutathione peroxidase.
CATALOG  #0805002


Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit

The “Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit” provides an indirect and highly reproducible method of quantifying the activity of total cellular glutathione reductase. The activity of the enzyme is an important measure of the antioxidant status of the cell. See kit box label.
