Product Description:
Peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7) widely exists in animals, plants and microorganisms. It can catalyzes the oxidation of phenols and amines by hydrogen peroxide, and has the dual effect of eliminating toxicity of hydrogen peroxide, phenols and amines. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, POD can catalyzes H2O2 oxidize specific substrates to produce one substance which has a absorption at 470 nm.
Reagents and Equipment Required but Not Provided:
Spectrophotometer/microplate reader, desk centrifuge, transferpettor, micro glass cuvette/96-well flat-bottom plates, mortar//homogeniser, ice and distilled water.
Procedure
I. Sample preparation:
A. Bacteria or cells
Collecting bacteria or cells into the centrifuge tube, the supernatant is discarded after centrifugation. It is suggested to take about 5 million bacteria/cell and add 1 mL of Extract solution. Bacteria and cell is broken by ultrasonication (Power: 20%, work time 3s, interval 10s, repeat for 30 times). Centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4℃, the supernatant is used for test.
B. Tissue
It is suggested to take about 0.1 g of tissue and add 1 mL of Extract solution. Fully grinding on ice, centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4℃, the supernatant is used for test.
C. Serum (plasma) sample: Detect sample directly.
II. Determination procedure:
1. Preheat Spectrophotometer/microplate reader for 30 minutes, adjust wavelength to 470 nm, set zero with distilled water.
2. Reagent I, Reagent II and Reagent III is placed at 37℃ (mammal) or 25℃ (other species) for 10
minutes before determination.
3. Add reagents with the following list:
Name of reagent (µL) | Test tube |
Reagent I | 120 |
Reagent II | 30 |
Reagent III | 30 |
Distilled water | 60 |
Sample | 5 |
The above reagents are added into EP tubes in sequence, immediately mixed and timed. Then 200 μL of the mixed solution is immediately transferred to a micro glass cuvette/ 96-well flat-bottom plates. The absorbance values A1 for 30 s and A2 for 90s at 470 nm are recorded, ΔA=A2-A1.
III. Calculations:
A. Micro glass cuvette
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every milliliter serum(plasma).
POD(U/mL)=ΔA×Vrv÷Vsv÷0.01÷T =4900×ΔA

POD(U/104 cell)=ΔA×Vrv÷(500×Vsv÷Vs)÷0.01÷T =9.8×ΔA
B. 96-Well flat-bottom plates
1. Serum (plasma) sample
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every milliliter serum(plasma).
POD(U/mL)=ΔA×Vrv÷Vsv÷0.005÷T =9800×ΔA
2. Protein concentration
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every milligram protein.
POD(U/mg prot)=ΔA×Vrv÷(Vsv×Cpr)÷0.005÷T =9800×ΔA÷Cpr
3. Sample weight
Unit definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme catalyzes the absorbance of 0.01 change at 470 nm in the reaction system per minute every gram tissue.

Note:
1. If there are too much samples need test in one time, mix Reagent I, Reagent II, Reagent III and distilled water in proportion. Pre-mixed solution can place at 37℃ (mammal) or 25℃(other species) for more than 10 minutes. It is enough to add 240 μL of pre-mixed solution for text.
2. If ΔA is below 0.005, measure time can extend to 3-5 minutes. If ΔA exceed 0.5, dilute sample with extract solution. When calculating, multiply the corresponding dilution multiple.
