Oxidative stress, broadly defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and elimination by antioxidant defenses, can lead to oxidative damage to critical cellular structural and functional biomarkers when unchecked. Implicated in a variety of pathophysiological and age-related diseases, many research programs focus on understanding oxidative stress’ role in health and disease.
Arbor Assays provides tools to measure the status and activity of key oxidative stress biomarkers. Our gluthathione and hydrogen peroxide assays are the easiest, most sensitive assays available to help researchers better monitor oxidative stress mechanisms and responses.
The DetectX® Catalase Colorimetric Activity Kit quantitatively measures catalase activity in any sample and includes everything needed to measure catalase activity in 45 minutes.
The DetectX® Formaldehyde (HCHO) Fluorescent Detection Kit is designed to quantitatively measure formaldehyde present in buffer, tissue culture media and urine samples.
The DetectX® Glutathione (GSH) Detection Assay Kits allow for convenient, rapid, and easy quantitation of both GSH and GSSG for an accurate measurement of a cell’s oxidative status in a variety of sample types.
The DetectX® Glutathione (GSH) Fluorescent Detection Kit utilizes a proprietary non-fluorescent molecule, ThioStar®, that covalently binds to the free thiol group on GSH to yield a highly fluorescent product.
The DetectX® Glutathione (GSH) Fluorescent Detection Kit utilizes a proprietary non-fluorescent molecule, ThioStar®, that covalently binds to the free thiol group on GSH to yield a highly fluorescent product.
The DetectX® Glutathione Reductase (GR) Fluorescent Activity Kit determines GR activity by the amount of GSH generated from the reduction of GSSG with a non-fluorescent molecule, ThioStar®, that covalently binds the free thiol group on GSH to yield a highly fluorescent product.
