‘New 8-OHdG Check’ ELISA Kit
(ELISA kit for 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine)
(Catalog #KOG-200SE)

Product Insert (pdf)

8-OHdG Check is a competitive in vitro enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay for quantitative measurement of the oxidative DNA adduct, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine
(8-OHdG) in samples expected to have high levels of 8-OHdG, such as the urine.

Merits of the ‘New 8-OHdG Check’ Elisa Kit

The '8-OHdG Check' is useful as a non-invasive indicator in numerous ways, such as:

• Use as a screening protocol to learn the role of oxidative stress biomarker 8-OHdG in aging and for application of this biomarker in the advancement of basic and applied research in biology and medicine.
• In nutrition, diet, and life style related basic and applied research.
• In evaluating the extent of oxidative stress generated as a result of exercises performed by the body or specific actions to which the body is subjected to.
• In determining the side effects of oxidative stress following clinical procedures
  or intake of  therapeutic drugs.

Kit Contents

• 8-OHdG pre-coated microtiter plate (split type)
• Primary antibody (Anti-8-OHdG monoclonal antibody)
• Primary antibody reconstituting buffer
