Bioquochem (BQC) - Redox Assay Kits
Measurement of oxidants and antioxidants | Quantification of deproteinization
Bioquochem (BQC) offers a wide variety of kits that allow you to analyze various parameters related to the oxidation / antioxidation with a spectrophotometer, such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC), enzymatic activity, molecular damage, quantification of phenolic compounds, and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Furthermore, BQC provides different assays for the quantification of proteins and deproteinization of samples prior to assaying.

Ready-to-use REDOX analysis kits
Biomedicine kits
Tissues and cells are protected from free radical damage by an antioxidant defense system, including endogenous (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) and dietary antioxidants. When this balance is disrupted, oxidative stress occurs.
Moderate oxidative stress can induce apoptosis; severe stress can cause cell death and contribute to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
Because free radicals are short-lived and hard to measure directly, total antioxidant capacity in body fluids is commonly used as an indirect marker of oxidative stress.
Application areas
Ageing, Effect of lifestyle on health, Disease prevention and control, Muscle damage, Cardiovascular, Neurodegenerative diseases etc.
Agri-food kits
Antioxidant molecules are key food components that support health and help prevent disease (e.g. polyphenols, anthocyanins).
Oxidation alters color, taste and aroma, reducing food quality and impacting human health. In plants, oxidative stress contributes to biotic and abiotic stress, limiting growth and yield.
Antioxidants occur naturally in many foods and can be added as preservatives or functional ingredients. They are also valuable for upcycling agri-food by-products into additives and bioactive compounds.
Application areas
Shelf-life, Processing methods (packaging, storage, temperature), Quality control, Stability of antioxidants, Optimization of dose, Add value etc.
