Oxidative Stress Product Guide
Summary of suggested
uses for products in the OXI-tek line
TBARS Assay Kit
Measurement of Thiobarbituric
Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) is the gold standard for assay of
oxidative stress. The OXI-TEK (TBARS) is a calibrated kit designed
for the measurement of oxidative stress in biological samples. This
assay may be used for testing antioxidants and drugs.
DNA
Isolation Kit
The DNA Isolation Kit provides a technique for isolation of genomic
DNA from whole blood, cultured cells and tissues. This procedure
provides a rapid method for non-toxic extractions, yielding large
quantities of genomic DNA of high purity with minimum DNA damage.
Extracted DNA is suitable for several applications including
oxidative DNA damage, amplification, restriction enzyme digestion,
sequencing, Southern blot analysis and other DNA analysis
procedures. (The development of this product was supported in part
by grants from the National Cancer Institute (R42 CA80451) and the
New York Center for Biotechnology.)

from the National Cancer Institute (R42 CA80451) and the New York
Center for Biotechnology.)
Nucleoside Standards
8-Oxo-7,8 dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-Oxo-dG)
8-Oxo-7,8 dihydro-2’-deoxyadenosine (8-Oxo-dA)
Total Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit
The Total Glutathione
Peroxidase Assay Kit provides an indirect method of quantifying the
activity of total glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in a large number of
biological specimens including plasma, WRBC, tissues and yeast. This
antioxidant enzyme catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and
hydroperoxides formed from fatty acids, thereby effectively removing
toxic peroxides from living cells and protecting them from potential
damage by free radicals. The Kit provides a stable and highly
reproducible method of quantitating total glutathione peroxidase.
Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit
The “Glutathione Reductase Assay Kit” provides an
indirect and highly reproducible method of quantifying the activity
of total cellular glutathione reductase. The activity of the enzyme
is an important measure of the antioxidant status of the cell. See
kit box label.
