The Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) Assay Kit is a reliable and sensitive tool for quantifying lipid peroxidation, a key indicator of oxidative stress. It measures malondialdehyde (MDA), a major byproduct of lipid degradation, through its reaction with thiobarbituric acid (TBA), forming a colored/fluorescent adduct.

  • Quantitative detection of MDA in wide variety of samples: Biological or Agrifood samples.
  • Dual readout options: colorimetric (530–540 nm) or fluorometric (Ex 530 nm / Em 550 nm).
  • Ready-to-use reagents and 96-well plate format for high-throughput analysis. NOTE: Flat bottom transparent microplates for colorimetric detection is sent by default. Please, ask for black microplates for fluorescence detection.

Select your protocol when ordering:

  • A is for general samples (i.e biological fluids)
  • B is for agrifood samples

 

NOTE: Flat bottom transparent microplates for UV/VIS applications is sent by default. Pelase, ask for black microplates for fluorescence measurements.
