Protocol

Protocol

Calculate TAC (copper reduction ability) of the samples by comparing the ΔOD of the samples to the ΔOD of standard
(1 mM ascorbic acid).

ΔODstandard = (OD2standard – OD1standard) – (OD2blank – OD1blank)
ΔODsample = (OD2sample – OD1sample) – (OD2blank – OD1blank)

Copper reduction ability
TAC (mM) = (ΔODstandard / ΔODsample) x 2

Kit Components

  • R-A : Buffer solution (bathocuproine)
  • R-B : Cupric ion (Cu2+) solution
  • R-C : Stop solution
  • Standard (STD) : Calibrator (Ascorbic acid 1.0mM)

(Note)

  • Remove insoluble substances in serum and plasma samples by filtration or centrifugation.
  • Hemolyzed sample cannot be used.
  • Do not use EDTA for anticoagulant.
  • Please use same type of blood collection tubes when TACs in plasma samples was compared.

(Some of anticoagulant has reduction ability.)

  • Samples must be assayed fresh. If you want to store the samples, please keep in -20℃ and do not repeat freeze/ thawing cycle that causes damage to the samples.
