BQC DPPH TAC Assay Kit provides a simple, fast, and reproducible method for assessing total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in a wide range of samples.
BQC DPPH TAC Assay Kit is based on the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. In this method, the DPPH free radical (DPPH•) which is a deep purple colored (λmax = 517 nm) stable organic nitrogen radical, is reduced by antioxidants to the colorless DPPH reduced form. Therefore, the absorbance decrease at 517 nm depends linearly on the antioxidant concentration.
The synthetic antioxidant Trolox (included in the kit) is used to standardize the sample TAC relative to Trolox (Trolox Equivalents Antioxidant Capacity, TEAC).
