More Details:

Peroxide (e.g. hydrogen peroxide H₂O₂) is one of the key reactive oxygen species formed under oxidative stress conditions. High levels of peroxide formation have been linked to pathological conditions such as ageing, asthma, diabetes, atherosclerosis, cataract, inflammatory arthritis and neurodegenerative diseases. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for quantitative determination of peroxide find wide applications in research and drug discovery.

Gentaur Genprice peroxide assay kit is designed to measure peroxide concentration in biological samples without any pretreatment. The improved method utilizes the chromogenic Fe³⁺-xylenol orange reaction, in which a purple complex is formed when Fe²⁺ provided in the reagent is oxidized to Fe³⁺ by peroxides present in the sample.

The intensity of the color, measured at 540-610nm, is an accurate measure of the peroxide level in the sample. The optimized formulation substantially reduces interference by substances in the raw samples.
