CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Single-Detection Kit

CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Single-Detection Kit

Ref. S-003-ROSG

CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Single-Detection Kit allows real-time monitoring of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the specific detection of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) via changes in green fluorescence intensity within living cells. This product enables to measure •OH radicals generated either as primary ROS or as secondary species downstream of other ROS, facilitating a more comprehensive study of live cell physiology, proliferation, differentiation, cell death, and ferroptosis.

CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Single-Detection Kit is pH-insensitive: experimental readouts obtained from this product are not affected by pH changes of the media, avoiding measurement artifacts due to pH variations. 

CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Kit is only active when in contact with intracellular esterases, obtaining a fluorescent signal with internalized SPAchips.

SPAchip® OHrad ROS technology enables continuous and accurate monitoring of intracellular ROS levels in living cells, by the specific detection of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), without any perturbation of cell physiology or metabolic state over long periods of time. Thus, CytoCHECK SPAchip® OHrad ROS Single-Detection Kit allows the tracking of important biological processes, helping to develop and improve strategies for anti-cancer therapy assays.
