Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay was used in this study with some modifications31 (link),36 (link). Briefly, lyophilized microalgal samples were extracted with 75% ethanol using a mini-beadbeater (BioSpec Products, USA) at the highest speed for 5 cycles, 20 s each, and cooled down on ice for 2 min between two cycles. Under dim light, ABTS (A-1888, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and potassium persulfate (216,224, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) were dissolved in water to generate the blue-green ABTS·+ (7 mM ABTS and 2.45 mM potassium persulfate). This mix was allowed to react in the dark at room temperature for 16 h and its absorbance at 734 nm (OD734) was adjusted to 0.70 ± 0.05 before use. To build the standard curve of OD734 against Trolox quantity, different amounts of Trolox (238813, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) were mixed with the freshly prepared ABTS·+ solution to reduce the color, and the resulting OD734 readings were recorded. The antioxidation capacity of the samples was expressed as equivalent amount of Trolox per mg dry biomass.

ABTS Radical Cation Antioxidant Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ABTS radical cation assay based on the method of Re et al. (1999) (link) was used to determine antioxidative capacity. Briefly, ABTS radical cation was prepared by reacting a 7 mM ABTS (Roche Diagnostics) stock solution with a known concentration of potassium persulfate (Sigma-Aldrich) so that the final concentration of potassium persulfate is 2.45 mM. The mixture was left to stand in the dark at room temperature for 16 h before use. A working ABTS•+ solution with an absorbance of 0.70 ± 0.02 at 734 nm was prepared by diluting with Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) buffer. Ten microlitres of protein extract or standard was added to 190 µL of ABTS•+ and mixed thoroughly in a microplate well before being read at 734 nm (Varioskan LUX, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The antioxidant capacity was calculated as: %Inhibition=Acontrol-AsampleAcontrol×100% , where Acontrol is the absorbance of the working ABTS•+ solution and Asample is the absorbance of the samples with ABTS•+ reagent. Gallic acid was used as a standard.

The free radical scavenging abilities of P. yezoensis extract and porphyra 334 were investigated using the ABTS 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation decolorization test. The interaction of 2.45 mM potassium persulfate (7727-21-1, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 7 mM ABTS (30931-67-0, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in ultra-purified water (UPW) formed the ABTS+ cation radicals, which were then kept at 20 °C in the dark for 12 to 16 h before use. UPW was then added to the ABTS+ solution for dilution, resulting in an absorbance of 0.700 at 734 nm. P. yezoensis extract and porphyra 334 were added to the ABTS+ solution at various concentrations. The positive control was 50 μm vitamin C. Samples were tested at an absorbance of 734 nm. The following equation was used to determine the radical scavenging activity: ABTS radical scavenging activity (%)=(Absorbance of controlAbsorbance of sampleAbsorbance of control )×100

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
