Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Quantitative Peroxide Assay Kit (Lipid)

The Thermo Scientific Pierce Quantitative Peroxide Assay Kit (lipid-compatible formulation) detects and measures hydrogen peroxide levels in biological samples using an iron and xylenol orange (XO) reagent.

This lipid-compatible peroxide assay kit detects peroxides based on oxidation of ferrous to ferric ion in the presence of xylenol orange. The kit's formulation may be used with lipid-containing samples without first extracting the lipids; however, because this kit does not contain sorbitol, the assay is less sensitive. Most proteins do not interfere with this assay, although some metal chelators may require use of a blank (i.e., control) to mitigate these effects.

For use with equipment: Spectrophotometer, Microplate Reader

Features

• Peroxides—detects and measures hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in biological and other liquids samples
• Convenient—no proprietary reagents involved but the ready-to-use kit removes the variability, difficulty and added expense of formulating the reagents yourself
