CheKine™ Superoxide Dismutases (SOD) Assay Kit

Abbkine CheKine™ Superoxide dismutase (SOD) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and easy colorimetric assay for the quantitative determination of SOD enzyme activity in serum, plasma, tissue/cell lysates and other biological fluids. In the assay, superoxide anion (O2－) is provided by xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzed reaction. O2－ reacts with a tetrazolium salt WST-8 dye to form a water-soluble colored formazan product. SOD scavenges the O2－ thus less O2－ is available for the chromogenic reaction. This inhibition activity of SOD is measured by colorimetric method at OD 450 nm.
