Measuring H2O2


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.
