The samples containing MDA or the MDA standards are reacted with TBA. This method, is convenient to determine the relative lipid peroxide content of samples, including plasma, serum, cell culture supernatants and urine samples. Multi-unsaturated lipids, are most likely to form peroxides, and so they are the most reactive lipids in the TBARs assay. TBARs assay is commonly used to compare one set of samples to another. After the incubation, the samples and standards can be read spectrophotometrically or fluorometrically. The MDA concentration in the samples is then calculated by comparison with the MDA standard curve.

MTT CELL PROLIFERATION ASSAY KIT KF03001A/B

The kit is designed to determine cellular viability. The mitochondrial activity of the cells is reflected by the conversion of the tetrazolium salt MTT into formazan crystals, which can be solubilized for homogenous measurement. Thus any increase or decrease in viable cell number can be detected by measuring formazan concentration spectrophotometrically using a plate reader at 570 nm vs 690 nm. In the BQCkit Cell Growth Determination Kit MTT- A is neccesary to remove cell medium before resuspending MTT cristals formed. In the BQCkit Cell Growth Determination Kit MTT-B, the resulting formazan crystals are directly redissolved without removing the culture medium. This kit is suitable for cells in suspension and faster, but less sensitive, than MTT Cell Proliferation Assay A.

CASPASE ASSAY KIT KC04005

The kit is designed to measure caspase activity in cell cultures. Caspases (cysteine-aspartic proteases, cysteine aspartases or cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) are a family of protease enzymes that play essential roles in programmed cell death. Caspase activity is measured by a short peptide containing specific cleavage sequences that are recognized by the caspase and are covalently attached to a colorimetric or fluorogenic detection probe. Initiator caspases (caspase 2, 8, 9 and 10) initiate the apoptosis signal and the executioner caspases (caspase 3, 6, and 7) carry out the mass proteolysis that leads to apoptosis. BQCKIT provides 8 different kits for assaying the activity of caspases 2, 3 6 and 9, measured by a colorimetric or fluorimetric method.

The second reaction is reduction of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent giving an intense blue compound.

BCA PROTEIN ASSAY KIT KB03005

The BCA Protein Assay is a detergent compatible formulation based on Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) for the colorimetric detection and quantitation of total protein. The principle of the BCA assay relies on the formation of a Cu2+ protein complex under alkaline conditions, followed by reduction of the Cu2+ to Cu+. The purple colored reaction product of this assay is formed by the chelation of two molecules of BCA with one cuprous ion. This water-soluble complex displays a strong absorbance at 562 nm.
