Catalase colorimetric activity kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Catalase Colorimetric Activity Kit is a laboratory product designed to measure the activity of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an important enzyme found in most living organisms that functions to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The kit provides a colorimetric assay method to quantify catalase activity in a variety of sample types.

Catalase Activity Assay in E. coli on GaN

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The catalase colorimetric activity kit from Thermo Fisher (catalog number: EIACATC) was utilized according to the supplied protocol. A catalase standard was provided to generate a standard curve. The E. coli cultures were grown overnight and diluted to an OD600 of 0.1. Subsequently, 100 μL aliquots were added to the UV treated and nontreated GaN surfaces. The cells were then vortexed loose from the surface of the GaN and diluted in the assay buffer, 25 μL of which was added to the wells of a 96-well plate. 25 μL of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was then added to each well and left to incubate at room temperature for 30 min. 25 μL of the provided substrate and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were then added and left to incubate further for 15 min. The HRP and substrate reacted to form a pink solution. The 96-well plate was then read spectrophotometrically at OD560. An increase in catalase activity is seen by the decrease in pinkness of the samples, which indicates a decrease in the amount of H2O2. The number of units of catalase present in each sample was calculated using the initially generated standard curve. Each unit of catalase corresponds to the decomposition of 1 μmol of H2O2 per minute at room temperature.

The enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured quantitatively using their respective kits from Invitrogen™ (Waltham, MA, USA): superoxide dismutase (SOD) colorimetric activity kit and catalase colorimetric activity kit. Following the manufacturer’s protocol, the activity (U/mL) of antioxidant enzymes was measured in 150 µg of protein samples at 450 nm and 560 nm using standard curves for SOD and CAT, respectively. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) colorimetric assay kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA) was used to detect small antioxidant molecules in the presence of a proprietary protein mask. Following the manufacturer’s protocol, the levels of small antioxidants were measured in a 150-µg protein sample using a 96-well plate. The absorbance was plotted at 570 nm as a function of Trolox concentration (nmol).

Catalase activity was determined in the brain regions using the Catalase Colorimetric Activity Kit (Invitrogen™, Waltham, MA, USA). A bovine catalase standard was used to generate a standard curve for the assay and all tissue lysates read off the standard curve. Brain lysates were diluted at 1:20 in the provided assay buffer and added to the wells of a half-area transparent plate. H2O2 was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Following this incubation, the supplied colorimetric detection reagent was added, followed by diluted horseradish peroxidase and incubation at room temperature for 15 min. The colored product was read at 560 nm. All brain extracts were assayed in triplicate, with the CV of replicate measures being <10%. The activity of catalase was standardized to protein and expressed as U/mg protein.

The total catalase activity was measured in the WAT using the Catalase Colorimetric Activity Kit (Invitrogen, EIACATC; Waltham, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, the WAT was homogenised in 0.5 mL cold 1× Assay Buffer per 100 mg of tissue using the TissueLyser II. The lysates were centrifuged at 10,000× g for 15 min at 4 °C. Avoiding the lipid layer, the cleared lysates were transferred to fresh tubes. The total protein content was quantitated using a DC protein assay, and the samples were normalised to 1.6 μg/mL with 1× Assay Buffer. The assay was then carried out according to the kit protocol. GraphPad Prism 9 software was used to generate the standard curve and interpolate the catalase activity values for the samples.

Single-cell suspensions were prepared from spleen and lung, and CD11c positive/negative cells were isolated as needed using CD11c ultrapure magnetic beads as described above. Cells were lysed by quick freeze/thaw followed by sonication using an Ultrasonic Liquid Processor (Misonix Inc, model XL2020) under the setting of 30% amplitude/30s on/30s off over 4 cycles. The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 10,000 ×g for 15 min at 4°C. The supernatants were collected to measure catalase activity using a Catalase Colorimetric Activity Kit (Invitrogen, catalog EIACATC). Protein concentration in each sample was determined using a Protein Assay kit (BioRad). Catalase activity was normalized to protein concentration (U/mg).

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.
