Catalase Activity Assay Kit
Is a biochemical assay kit designed to measure the activity of the enzyme catalase in a sample. Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thus protecting cells from oxidative damage. The assay typically involves the detection of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase, which is quantified using a colorimetric, fluorometric, or luminescent readout. This kit is widely used in research and clinical laboratories to study oxidative stress, evaluate antioxidant capacity, and assess the activity of catalase in biological samples.
