BRS (BQC Redox System) systems are portable, electrochemical devices designed to measure the Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in a wide variety of samples.
BRS uses a voltammetric technique that is fast, accurate and free of color interferences, ideal for on-site analysis and without the need for specialized personnel.
BRS works exclusively with BRS Apps (Android and Windows).
WHAT IS TAC?
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is a global measurement of the non-enzymatic antioxidant defense system that integrates the individual effect of all antioxidants in a given matrix, and their additive, synergistic or antagonistic interactions. TAC is considered an important parameter to establish the redox state of a sample and can be used as an oxidative stress biomarker.
WHY ELECTROCHEMISTRY TO STUDY OXIDATIVE STRESS?
Redox reactions are involved in the origin and consequences of oxidative stress. Electrochemistry is recognized as the best tool to study this type of reactions. Another important aspect in favour of the electrochemical methods to study oxidative stress, is the electroactivity of most of the oxidants and antioxidants present in biological samples.
Electrochemistry is therefore a powerful tool to study oxidative stress in biomedical samples, with features that include rapid response, high sensitivity, inherent miniaturization, low cost and low-power requirements. Moreover, electrochemical techniques are non-destructive and can be used in turbid or colored samples.
Two BRS options available depending on the sample type
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PERFORM A TEST?
Our R&D Department, trying to simplify and optimize the functionality, reliability and performance of our devices, has designed this new BRS Device to replace the eBQC line, which will no longer be available.
