Signosis’ Oxidative Stress Combo Assay Kit is a multiplex oxidative stress and antioxidant assay that can be utilized to sequentially measure reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) step by step from the same samples. In this kit, DCFDA is first used to measure the ROS in the media of live cells. The same media is also used to determine MDA levels. Then, the cells are lysed and the lysates are used to measure GSH levels and SOD activity.
 
 
Data Analysis & Interpretation
High ROS/RNS + Low GSH/GSSG + High MDA → Oxidative stress damage.
High ROS but High SOD + High GSH/GSSG → Active antioxidant response.
Low SOD + Low GSH/GSSG + High MDA → Severe oxidative damage, impaired defenses.
 
Advantages of This Multiplex Assay
✔ Comprehensive: Measures both oxidative damage & antioxidant defenses.
✔ Efficient: Reduces the need for multiple sample preparations.
✔ High-Throughput Ready: 96-well format for screening compounds or treatments.
