Application |
ABTS(Cas No.:30931-67-0) is a common use for it is in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect for binding of molecules to each other. And it also frequently used by the food industry and agricultural researchers to measure the antioxidant capacities of foods. In this assay, ABTS is converted to its radical cation by addition of sodium persulfate. This radical cation is blue in color and absorbs light at 734 nm.The ABTS radical cation is reactive towards most antioxidants including phenolics, thiols and Vitamin C.During this reaction, the blue ABTS radical cation is converted back to its colorless neutral form. The reaction may be monitored spectrophotometrically. This assay is often referred to as the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay. The reactivity of the various antioxidants tested are compared to that of Trolox, which is a water-soluble analog of vitamin E. |
