  • 产品概述

    Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) (ab118970) provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of malondialdehyde (MDA).


    In the lipid peroxidation assay protocol, the MDA in the sample reacts with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) to generate a MDA-TBA adduct. The MDA-TBA adduct can be easily quantified colorimetrically (OD = 532 nm) or fluorometrically (Ex/Em = 532/553 nm). This assay detects MDA levels as low as 1 nmol/well colorimetrically and 0.1 nmol/well fluorometrically.


    The MDA assay is also refered to as a TBARS assay.


    Lipid peroxidation assay protocol summary:
    - add TBA solution to samples and standards, incubate at 95ºC for 60 min, cool in ice bath for 10 min
    - transfer to wells of microplate
    - analyze with microplate reader
    For higher sensitivity, precipitate with n-butanol, centrifuge, dry and resuspend pellet before analysis.


    Chinese protocol available. See protocols section below.


    For an alternative MDA assay, without the heating steps required in the TBARS assay, try MDA assay ab233471.

  • 说明

    Lipid peroxidation refers to the oxidative degradation of lipids. In this process free radicals take electrons from the lipids (generally in cell membranes), resulting in cell damage. Quantification of lipid peroxidation is essential to assess oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation forms reactive aldehydes such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4- HNE) as natural bi-products. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) are often used as markers of lipid peroxidation, and to assay for oxidative damage / oxidative stress.

Question

I have a few questions about this kit:
1. Can I mix more than 10ul plasma with 500ul sulfuric acid? I am trying to boost signal by adding more concentrated sample.
2. It seems the standard curve produced by the kit is a good one but I see no signal from plasma samples. I have followed the protocol exactly. Do you have any ideas why one would not see any signal with plasma?
3. After heating and cooling the samples, do I need to run the assay immediately or can the cooled samples be stored? If storage is possible, what do you recommend?

Read More
Answer

Below please find answers to your questions:

A1: We have found that the 10 ul plasma worked well. How much more plasma is used depends on the protein content.
A2: If there is low amounts of MDA adduct formed in plasma samples, then the fluorometric method might provide 10 fold increased sensitivity to detect this. It is possible in that case to not register any OD or see background OD with samples.
A3: For best results we do not recommend storing samples after 95C heating and cooling. Lipid binding to the walls of the tube can happen upon storage and this can skew the data.

Question

The TBA is not going into solution in the glacial acetic acid.

Read More
Answer

Sonication in a RT water bath can be used if needed. You can also dissolve TBA in 15 ml of 50% glacial acetic acid in water. Then fill the volume with water to make 25ml. Mix well. This should help in dissolving the TBA. If there is still little precipitate, use 600 ul as directed and any particle in suspension will dissolve at 95C when incubated for 60 mins.

Question

How are the nmol standard curve units converted to units of uM concentrations and micrograms?

Read More
Answer

Here is my conversion from nanomoles to micromolar concentrations and micrograms of MDA for the units that are used for the X-axis of the data on the datasheet. Please let me know if this does not answer you question or if you have concerns about the values you obtained.

The standard you receive in the kit is 4.17M. Dilute 10ul to 0.1M, then 2mM. Standards for the colorimetric assay are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ul of the 2mM solution, per tube. The amounts per tube are specified in the protocol and the data as nanomoles (nmol), not nanomolar concentrations (nM).

For example, the 2mM standard solution contains: 2 millimoles per liter, = 2 nanomoles per microliter. The standard that contains 2 ul contains 4 nanomoles.

The molar concentration of this standard, after bringing the volume to 200ul (which is also the volume of the experimental samples), is 4 nanomoles per 200ul, = 20,000 nanomoles per liter (4 x 5000 nanomoles per 200 x 5000 ul) = 20 micromoles (umol) per liter, which is a 20 micromolar (uM) solution.

So, you are comparing your samples to MDA standards that are concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 uM .

The molecular weight of MDA is 72g/L. (One mole weighs 72g).

A 20 uM solution contains 1440 ug per liter. (72/1,000,000 x 20).

In 200 ul, you will have: 1440/5,000 ug, = 0.288 ug.

So, the standard tubes contain: 0.288, 0.432, 0.576, 0.72, and 1.44 ug per tube.

Question

can you tell me where in the protocol I can stop the assay and how the samples should be stored at that point?

Read More
Answer

We do not recommend that the protocol be stopped for later continuation at any step for this assay. If you cannot perform the whole protocol on the same day, I would recommend storing the samples initially at -80°C for later processing according to the protocol.

Question

Appropriate sample types include Cell culture supernatant, Plasma, Other biological fluids andTissue Extracts. I would like to know I can use this kit for checking MDA in serum samples of human.

Read More
Answer

I am sorry to confirm this kit has not been tested on serum samples yet. Since it has not been used for analysis of serum, I am sorry we unfortunately do not have any procedure or tips for such use. I can recommend that as plasma samples are similar, to try the procedure provided for plasma to start with and optimize from there.

Question

We don't have 532 nm of colorimetric spectro filter in my lab, we only have the 520nm. And so, is it ok if I use 520nm? would it effect the accuracy of the measurement significantly?

Read More
Answer

I can confirm you would be able to use the 520 nm wavelength for detection, provided the instrument's bandwidth of detection range is +/- 12. If not, measuring at 520 nm will reduce the efficiency of detection at least slightly.

Question

The standards work well but I see precipitation in my sample after heating at 95 degrees C for 60 min. Samples are cell extracts.
1. Is this normal?
2. How should this be addressed?

Read More
Answer

Centrifuge the samples and take only the clear supernatant for the next step.

Question

At the end of the protocol there is a note about the use of n-butanol for more sensitivity. I must add the n-butanol to the 800 µl reaction mixture. Do I have to add the n-butanol also to the standard or only the samples?

Read More
Answer

I can confirm that you will need to use the n-butanol for the standards as well, since it helps in isolating the MDA-TBA adduct.

Question

I'm using this kit with my 1 million melanoma cells treated with H2O2 for 1.5 hrs. I'm seeing color change in the standards, but no color change in my sample wells. I'm using the MDA lysis buffer for homogenization, but my samples are not deproteinized and I haven't determined the protein concentration. Any advice?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.

I heard from the lab that you can start with a greater number of cells and homogenize them in the same 300 ul MDA lysis buffer. They didn't think deproteinization would help. But you may want to use n-butanol to extract the MDA-TBA adduct if you're not already (see note in protocol). Also you may want to switch to fluorometric detection if you can. It would be preferable due to higher sensitivity.

I hope this information helps. Please contact us with any other questions.
