Description

Detection principle

Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) can catalyze the reaction between ascorbic acid (ASA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and ASA can be oxidized to monodehydroascorbic acid (MDASA). The absorbance of solution at 290 nm will decline as the oxidation of ASA. The APX activity can be calculated by detecting the decrease of A290.

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.071-47 U/g tissue).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type

Dilution factor

10% Epipremnum aureum tissue homogenization

1

10% Carrot tissue homogenization

1

10% Green pepper tissue homogenization

1

10% Mushrooms tissue homogenization

1

Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).
