OxiSelect™ TBARS Assay Kit (MDA Quantitation)

None

The TBARS (Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances) assay Is well-established for screening and monitoring lipid peroxidation. MDA forms a 1:2 adduct with thiobarbituric acid; the MDA-TBA adduct can then be measured. Our OxiSelect TBARS Assay Kit provides a much more user-friendly protocol to measure the MDA-TBA adduct. Reaction volumes are much smaller than the traditional assay, so much less sample Is required. Also, reactions can be performed In standard polypropylene tubes - no glass tubes or glass marbles are required. Important Note: MDA adducts are not stable long term. For best results test all samples Immediately upon collection, or freeze them at -80C for up to one month. MDA may be degraded In samples that have been frozen for longer periods; In such cases more reliable results may be obtained from more stable markers of oxidative stress such as protein carbonyl, 8-OHdG or 4-HNE.
