Approximately 100 uL of cell culture was spun down. A colorimetric assay was performed using the PeroXOquant™ Quantitative Peroxide Assay Kit (Pierce) as per the manufacture’s instructions in a 96 well plate. After incubating the reaction at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, it was read on a plate reader (Spectramax M2) at 595nm. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide was calculated by reference to a standard (100uM, 33.3uM, 11.1 uM, 3.7 uM and 0.0 uM H2O2) made in the corresponding media. Culture supernatants were diluted as appropriate to bring measurements into the assay’s linear range.

Measuring H2O2


Note: Based on manufacturer's instructions.

  1. Spin down approximately 100 uL of cell culture
  2. Measure peroxide concentration using a colorimetric assay and following the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. After incubating the reaction at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, read on a plate reader (Spectramax M2) at 595nm.
  4. Calculate the concentration of hydrogen peroxide by reference to a standard curve (100uM, 33.3uM, 11.1 uM, 3.7 uM and 0.0 uM H2O2) made in the corresponding media.
    • NB: Dilute culture supernatants as appropriate to bring measurements into the assay’s linear range.
