Related Product Information for Intracellular Total ROS Activity assay kit
Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural byproducts of the normal metabolism of oxygen and play important roles in cell signaling. However, during oxidative stress-related states, ROS levels can increase dramatically. The accumulation of ROS results in significant damage to cellular structures. The role of oxidative stress in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke, inflammatory diseases, a number of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, has been well established. Intracellular Total ROS Activity Assay provides a good screening option for assessing the potency of oxidative stress inhibitor and activator reagents, and will help to determine how oxidative stress modulates varied intracellular pathways. This kit assesses the overall level of intracellular ROS activity, but does not identify the specific reactive oxygen molecule(s) generated by the oxidative stress event. The kit provides all the essential reagents and an easy to follow protocol to assess changes in intracellular ROS levels by flow cytometry. The key reagent in the assay is a proprietary dye called Total ROS Green. This dye quickly penetrates membrane structures and accumulates within the cell. In the presence of ROS, the non-fluorescent Total ROS Green dye molecule is oxidized by all various iterations of ROS molecular forms. In the oxidized state, the Total ROS Green dye molecule acquires fluorescence properties that enable its detection by flow cytometry (Ex/Em: 490 nm/520 nm) as an indicator of the relative level of intracellular ROS activity. This assay is not designed to determine which particular cell pathology triggered the increase in intracellular ROS concentration in the treatment cell populations, or which individual species of reactive oxygen are involved in the cell response. Other testing parameters must be analyzed to establish the specific causation process responsible for the increased intracellular ROS activity levels. Intracellular Total ROS Activity Assay requires minimal procedural steps and hands-on time to complete. Suspension cells or EDTA disassociated adherent cells are stained for 1 hour to pre-load the cells with Total ROS Green quantitation dye. Cells are then treated experimentally. Since the non-internalized dye probe is non-fluorescent, subsequent wash steps are not required, thus simplifying the assay procedure. Following treatment, cells are ready for analysis by flow cytometry. Each kit will enable the assessment of up to 100 samples (0.5 mL each). This assay can be adapted for use with a fluorescence microscope or plate reader equipped with FITC/FAM dye-compatible excitation/emission optics. Use and optimization of these alternative fluorescence analysis methods will require further modification of this flow cytometer based protocol.

Product Notes
The Intracellular Total ROS Activity (Catalog #AAA52759) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Intracellular Total ROS Activity can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, FCM/FACS (Flow Cytometry). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Intracellular Total ROS Activity for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Intracellular Total ROS Activity, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
