Product Description
  • Oxidants, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), can generate free radicals that can cause severe oxidative damage to cellular lipids, membranes, proteins, and DNA. Antioxidants can scavenge these free radicals and prevent cellular oxidative stress by enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. Enzyme systems that function as antioxidants include catalase and peroxidase. Tocopherols, carotenes, vitamin A, and ubiquinols function as lipid-soluble antioxidants; whereas, glutathione and ascorbate are some of the water-soluble antioxidants. Measurement of the total non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (TAC) of biological samples is indicative of their ability to counteract oxidative stress-induced damage in cells. TAC is used to provide insights into the development and treatment of oxidative-stress related disorders.
  • In the Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit, either the concentration of the combination of both small molecule and protein antioxidants, or the concentration of only small molecule antioxidants can be determined. Under acidic condition, Fe3+- TPTZ is converted to Fe2+- TPTZ by both small molecules and proteins. The reduced Fe2+ion chelates with a colorimetric probe, giving a broad absorbance peak at 593 nm, which is proportional to the total antioxidant capacity. Because of acidic conditions, and the total plasma concentration of iron ion and ferrous ion in serum samples is usually lower than 10 μM, some endogenous interference factors can be inhibited.

  • The kit gives antioxidant capacity in Trolox equivalents. Trolox, a water-soluble vitamin E analog, serves as an antioxidant standard.
Components

Briefly centrifuge vials before opening. Use ultrapure water for the preparation of reagents. To maintain reagent integrity, avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

TPTZ Diluent 15 mL
TPTZ solution 1.5 mL
Detection buffer 0.5 mL
FeSO4•7H2O 200mg
Trolox Standard, 10mM 0.1 mL
Preparation of FRAP working solution

Refer to the following table, according to the number of samples to be measured (including standard curve) to prepare the right amount of FRAP working solution:

Number of samples 1 5 10 20 50
TPTZ Diluent 150μl 750μl 1500μl 3000μl 7500μl
TPTZ solution 15μl 75μl 150μl 300μl 750μl
Mix well and then add the buffer
Detection buffer 15μl 75μl 150μl 300μl 750μl
FRAP working solution 180μl 900μl 1800μl 3600μl 9000μl

FRAP working solution should be incubated at 37℃, and used within 1-2 hours.

Storage/Stability

The kit is shipped on ice pack and storage at –20 ℃ is valid in 12 months, protected from light, is recommended.

Procedure

All samples and standards should be run in duplicate.

Standards for Colorimetric Detection
  • Take 27.8 mg FeSO4•7H2O provided by this kit, dissolve and hold to a concentration of 1 ml, at this time the concentration of FeSO4•7H2O is 100 mM. Then dilute100 mM FeSO4•7H2O to 0.15, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5mM with PBS.
  • The FeSO4 solution should be freshly prepared. 100mM FeSO4 solution is easy to be oxidized to ferric, making the color from initial light green gradually to light yellow. If the color is yellow, abandon it and make fresh solution.
Sample Preparation
  1. Serum, plasma, saliva or urine samples require 20 μl each can be used directly for assays,or can be frozen at -80°C before measuring. There was no significant change in at least one month. Heparin or sodium citrate can be used for plasma preparation and EDTA should not be used. According to literature, the total antioxidant capacity in human serum or plasma is 0.5-2 mM, 0.3-1 mM in human saliva and 0.2-3 mM in urine.
  2. For cell samples, collecting about 1 million cells (without accurate counting, direct scraping, not suitable for digestion using pancrease and EDTA), placed in 200 ml of cold PBS, homogenizing or ultrasound to fully break the cells and release the antioxidants in them, 12,000g centrifugate at 4°C for 5 minutes, collect supernatant for assay.
  3. For tissue samples, add 100 microliters of cold PBS to each 20 mg tissue, homogenize or ultrasound to fully break the tissue and release the antioxidants in it, 12,000g centrifugate at 4°C for 5 minutes, collect supernatant for assay. All of the above operations need to be performed on ice. If the preparation of cell or tissue samples is not immediately used for assay, it can be frozen at -80°C. There was no significant change in at least one month.

Assay Reaction
  1. Add 180μL of FABP Working Solution to all standard and sample wells.
  2. Aliquot 5μl of0.15, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5mM standard solutions into the standard wells.
  3. Add 5μl of ddH2O or PBS into the control (zero) well.
  4. Add 5μl of 0.15-1.5mMTrolox into a sample well as positive control; add 5μl of each sample into other sample wells.
  5. Seal the plate with a cover and incubate at 37 °C for 3-5min. Measure the absorbance at 593 nm (A593).If A593 is difficult to measure, it can be measured in the range of 585-605nm.
  6. The total antioxidant capacity of the sample was calculated according to the standard curve. If the absorbance of the sample was beyond the standard curve, the sample should be diluted and then determined.
  7. For FRAP method, the total antioxidant capacity is expressed with concentration of FeSO4 standard solution. For example, if the measured absorbance of a plasma or serum sample is the same with that of1mM FeSO4, the total antioxidant capacity of the plasma or serum sample is 1mM; if the measured absorbance of a cell homogenate is the same with that of 0.3mM FeSO4, and its protein concentrations 0.15mg/ml, the total antioxidant capacity of the cell homogenate sample is 0.3mM/0.15mg/ml, namely 2mmol/g; if the measured absorbance of a 0.2mM antioxidant is the same as that of 1mM FeSO4, the relative total antioxidant capacity was 5.
