Stock solutions of the three metal ions viz., Fe2+, Cu2+ and As5+ were prepared with analytical grade ferrous sulphate (FeSO4·5H2O), copper sulphate (CuSO4·7H2O) and sodium arsenate (Na2AsO4) purchased from Merck, Kolkata, India. 1000 mg/L stock solution of each metal ion was prepared with 2.7 g, 2.5 g and 4.16 g of FeSO4·5H2O, CuSO4·7H2O and Na2AsO4 respectively in 1000 mL of deionized water (obtained from laboratory setup) in three separate volumetric flasks. The stock solutions were kept at acidic pH (below 6) to prevent it from metal precipitation. 1 N hydrochloric acid and 1 N sodium hydroxide obtained from Merck, Kolkata, India, were used to maintain the solution pH.

Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay was carried out according to the technique of Surin et al. [31 ]. The FRAP reagent was prepared by mixing 25 mL of 0.3 M acetate buffer (pH 3.6), 2.5 mL of 4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ) (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) solution in 40 mM HCl (RCI Labscan, Bangkok, Thailand), and 2.5 mL of 20 mM ferrous sulphate (Loba Chemie, Mumbai, India). Then, 50 µL of sample (5 mg/mL) was mixed with 950 µL of FRAP reagent and incubated in the dark for 30 min. Absorbance was measured at 593 nm in a 96-well microplate. The ferric reducing antioxidant power of the sample was determined based on ferrous sulphate (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). Results were expressed as ferrous sulphate equivalent antioxidant capacity (FEAC) with µmol Fe2+/g sample.

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.
