Intended Uses: This kit can be used to measure Lipid Peroxide (LPO) content in serum, plasma, urine and tissue samples.

Principle of the Assay: With 450C incubation for 60min, one molecule of LPO react with two molecule of chromogenic reagent, to produce a stable chromophore which have the maximum absorption peak at 586nm. Calculate the content of LPO in samples by standard curve or calculation formula.

Background/Introduction: Lipid peroxidation, as an indicator of oxidative stress in cell and tissue, has been identified as a kind of cellular damage. Lipid peroxide is unstable and can decompose into complex mixture including carbonyl compounds. Polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxide is decomposed into Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxyl olefins (HAE). Detection of LPO, MDA and HAE has been an indicator of lipid peroxidation.

Small volumes of Lipid peroxidation assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2540553 is an assay kit targeting Lipid peroxidation. Also known as Lipid peroxidation assay kit (Colorimetric method).
