Notes

How the assay works

The GSH/GSSG assay protocol uses a proprietary non-fluorescent water-soluble dye that becomes strongly fluorescent upon reacting with GSH. With a one-step fluorimetric method, the kit can detect as little as 1 picomole of GSH or GSSG in a 100 µL assay volume.

The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and readily adapted to automation without a separation step. Its signal can be easily read by a fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 490/520 nm.

GSH/GSSG assay protocol summary:

- add samples (deproteinized) and standards to wells
- for GSH assay add Thiol Green in assay buffer, or for total glutathione (GSH + GSSG) assay also add GSSG probe
- incubate for 10 - 60 min at room temp
- analyze with microplate reader
GSSG levels can be calculated by subtracting GSH from total glutathione levels.

NOTE: For measuring GSH Standard only, there is enough reagent provided to perform 200 tests.

    Sample Calibration Curve - Reduced GSH.

    Reduced GSH dose responses were measured in a black 96-well plate with ab205811 using a fluorescence microplate reader. 50 μL of GSH standards (0.01 to 5 μM) or blank control was added into each well, and then 50 μL of GSH Assay Mixture was added. The fluorescence intensity was measured at Ex/Em = 490/520 nm after 30 minutes incubation.

    Sample Calibration Curve - Total GSH.

    Total GSH dose responses were measured with ab205811 in a black 96-well plate using a fluorescence microplate reader. 50 μL of GSSG standards (0.01 to 5 μM), GSH-containing samples or blank control were added into each well, and then 50 μL of Total GSH Reaction Mixture was added. Fluorescence intensity was measured at Ex/Em = 490/520 nm after 30 minutes incubation.
