Reactive Oxygen Species Assay Kit
Reactive Oxygen Species Assay Kit is a kit that uses the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA to quantitatively assess reactive oxygen species (ROS) in live cells. DCFH-DA is a cell-permeable probe, which is deacetylated by cellular esterases to a non-fluorescent DCFH. DCFH then is oxidized by ROS into highly fluorescent DCF. The fluorescence intensity of DCF is proportional to the ROS levels. This kit also provides Rosup as a positive control for ROS generation. The concentration of Rosup is 50 mg/mL.

Components | K2065-100 T | K2065-500 T |
DCFH-DA (10 mM) | 0.1 mL | 0.5 mL |
Rosup | 1 mL | 5 mL |
This kit should be stored at -20°C, stable for 1 year. DCFH-DA should be stored at -20°C away from light, and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
