| Description: | Fenton Reaction is the most common chemical reaction that generates hydroxyl free radical. The amount of H2O2 is proportional to the amount of OH¯ generated in Fenton reaction. When the electron acceptor is provided, the color develops with Griess reagent and form red substance. The color development is proportional to the amount of OH¯. |
| Notes: | 1) Each tube must be done separately, and reaction time must be one minute precisely. 2) Reagents must be added strictly in accordance with the order of operating table. Don’t prepare mixed reagents. 3) The sample solvent or medium can be normal saline and double distilled water, but must not be phosphate buffer solution or absolute ethanol, etc.. 4) This method has a high detection sensitivity. When detecting samples except serum (plasma) and tissue, you’d better take the stock solution and diluted samples at different concentrations for the pre-test, such as 1:5 dilution solution or 1:10 dilution solution. If the color of the testing tube is too light, the sample may be diluted with its solvent until the color is darker. Hydroxyl free radical in water extract of pollen that has been tested showed a clearer coloration when stock solution is diluted 150 times. |

| Kit Components: | Reagent 1: 3% H2O2 standard stock solution, 0.5 mL× 1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months. Preparation of 0.03% standard working solution: double distilled water = 1:99, diluted before use. Reagent 2: substrate stock solution, 1 mL × 1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months. Preparation of substrate working solution: If your sample is to inhibit hydroxyl free radical, which means the absorbance of the testing tube is lower than that of the contrast tube, substrate working solution should be prepared as substrate stock solution : double distilled water =1:99 before use. If your sample is to generate hydroxyl free radical, which means the absorbance of the testing tube is higher than that of the contrast tube, substrate working solution should be prepared as substrate stock solution : double distilled water =1:299 before use. Reagent 3: A stock solution, 2 mL × 1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months. Add double distilled water at the ratio of 9:1 before use. B stock solution, 7 mL × 2 vials, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months. Preparation of R3 working solution: Add the same volume of working solution A into B to give required solution. Store the remaining at 4°C for 3 months. Reagent 4: Liquid, 10 mL × 1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months. Add double distilled water until the solution reach 100 mL before use, stored at 4°C. The liquid should be placed in water bath at 37°C if crystallization occurs. Dissolve the crystal before dilution. Reagent 5: Liquid, 30 mL ×1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months when protected from the light. Reagent 6: Liquid, 30 mL ×1 vial, can be stored at 4°C for 3 months when protected from the light. Reagent 7: Analytically pure glacial acetic acid should be self-provided. Preparation of chromogenic agent: Working solution R4: R5: R6: glacial acetic acid = 8:3:3:2, prepare fresh solution before use. Notes: There are substances that inhibit hydroxyl free radical such as serum (plasma), various tissue homogenate and oral liquid, etc.; there are substances that generate hydroxyl free radical such as neutrophils, certain drugs and some plants, etc.. |

Preliminary test needs to be done to determine specific sampling amount. |
