SOD Assay Kit-WST allows very convenient SOD assaying by utilizing Dojindo's highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-1 that produces a water-soluble formazan dye upon reduction with a superoxide anion. The rate of the reduction with O2.- are linearly related to the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and is inhibited by SOD. Therefore, the IC50 (50% inhibition activity of SOD or SOD-like materials) can be determined by a colorimetric method.
