A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY (TAC) AND CORRECTED TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY (CORRTAC) IN FLUIDS

摘要

The present invention relates to a new automated method for the determination of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and Corrected Total Antioxidant Capacity (corrTAC) in fluids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a crocin reagent for the determination of TAC in fluids. This method is especially advantageous for the use in clinical practice, as it produces stable results during at least three freeze thawing cycles, and is more sensitive compared to other TAC assays.
