Superoxide dismutase (SOD) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and easy colorimetric assay for the quantitative determination of SOD enzyme activity in serum, plasma, tissue/cell lysates and other biological fluids. In the assay, superoxide anion (O2-) is provided by xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzed reaction. O2- reacts with a tetrazolium salt WST-8 dye to form a water-soluble colored formazan product. SOD scavenges the O2- thus less O2- is available for the chromogenic reaction. This inhibition activity of SOD is measured by colorimetric method at OD 450 nm.
