Intracellular ROS Assay
Oxidative stress is a state in which the production of free radicals outpaces the clearance leading to accumulation and oxidative damage to proteins, DNA and lipids. Oxidative damage has been linked to a variety of diseases such as ageing, asthma, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, Down’s syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases.
Cambridge Bioscience offers the OxiSelect™ intracellular ROS assay kit from Cell Biolabs. The OxiSelect™ Intracellular ROS Assay Kit is a fluorometric, cell-based assay for measuring hydroxyl, peroxyl and other reactive oxygen species activity within cells. This assay employs the cell-permeable fluorogenic probe DCFH-DA, which diffuses into cells and is converted into the fluorescent DCF detectable in a two-step process that can be detected using a standard fluorescence plate reader. The kit boasts excellent sensitivity, a simple and fast protocol and has been used as part of research in several published articles.
Benefits of the OxiSelect™ Intracellular ROS Assay
• Fast - Quick 1 hour workflow
• Highly sensitive - down to 10pM
• Wide detection - Detects the presence of various ROS species
• Tried & tested kit - cited in numerous publications
OxiSelect™ Intracellular ROS Assay Workflow
1. The assay employs the cell-permeable fluorogenic probe DCFH-DA, which diffuses into cells
2. DCFH-DA is de-acetylated to DCFH by cellular esterases
3. In the presence of ROS, DCFH is subsequently rapidly oxidised to highly fluorescent DCF
