Product Description
Because of potential cancer risks and their age-promoting effects, free radicals in living bodies have become a frequently studied subject. DMPO is the most frequently used spin-trapping reagent for the study of free radicals. It is suitable for trapping oxygen radicals, especially superoxides, and for producing adducts with characteristic EPR (ESR) patterns. However, most commercially available DMPO contains impurities that cause high backgrounds. Thus, DMPO requires further purification for running experiments on EPR. The quality of Dojindo’s DMPO is well controlled and Dojindo’s DMPO doesn’t require any pre-purification process. There are no impurities to cause a background problem.
General Protocol
Evaluation of superoxide scavenging activities
1. Add 15 μl of DMPO and 50 μl of 5 mM hypoxanthine to 35 μl of 0.1 M Phosphate buffer(pH 7.8).
2. Add 50 μl of SOD standard or samples to be tested and voltex for 1-2 seconds.
3. Add 50 μl of 0.4 U/ml xanthine oxidase and voltex immediately.
4. Transfer the solution to ESR sample tube and measure ESR spectra after certain time of period, e.g. 1minutes.
5. Calculate relative intensity(DMPO-O2-/Mn2+) from the peak height.
| C-, N-, and S-centered radicals Detection <New> |
 |
DMPO is capable of trapping not only O-centered radicals but also C-, N-, and S-centered ones. The following experiments are used to demonstrate how different types of radicals can be trapped by DMPO in a simple HRP/H2O2 system by using different protein substrates. |

Protocol
- Prepare a solution of 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 25 µM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).
- Make up a solution of the following peroxidase substrates: (A) 100 mM sodium formate (HCOONa); (B) 100 mM potassium cyanide (KCN); (C) 100 mM sodium azide (NaN3); (D) 100 mM sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) in 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4.
- Make up a solution of horseradish peroxidase with concentration of 4.0 mg/ml (~ 100 µM) and 1 mM solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
- Make up a solution of DMPO with concentration of 1 M.
- Prepare your reaction mixture to a total reaction volume of 200 µl. Add 130 µl of buffer to an Eppendorf tube.
- Add 20 µl DMPO of your 1 M DMPO solution, 20 µl of one of the substrates’ stock solutions, 10 µl of 1 mM H2O2, and initiate the reaction with 20 µl HRP.
- Vortex the tube, transfer the solution to a flat cell, and acquire the spectrum.
- The final concentrations of the components are: 100 mM DMPO, 10 mM substrate (formate, cyanide, azide, sulfite), 50 µM H2O2, and 10 µM HRP.

Superoxide Detection Procedure <New> |

Protocol
- Prepare a solution of 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 25 µM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) as transition metal chelator.
- Make up a solution of 1 mM hypoxanthine in 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4.
- Make up a solution of xanthine oxidase with concentration of 1 unit/ml
- Make up a solution of DMPO with concentration of 1 M.
- Prepare your reaction mixture to a total reaction volume of 200 µl.
- Add 70 µl of buffer to an Eppendorf tube. Add 20 µl DMPO of your 1 M DMPO solution and 100 µl hypoxanthine of the stock 1 mM solution.
- Initiate the reaction with 10 µl xanthine oxidase, vortex the tube and transfer the solution to a flat cell.
- Insert the flat cell into the cavity, tune the spectrometer, and acquire the spectrum.
The final concentrations of the components are: 100 mM DMPO, 0.5 mM hypoxanthine, and 0.05 units/ml xanthine oxidase.
You should always perform control experiments in which one or more of the reagents are excluded. These experiments will reveal any paramagnetic impurities and will demonstrate that all the components were required to produce the EPR signal.

S/N Ratio in EPR (ESR) Study
Comparison of EPR spectra between Dojindo's DMPO and other suppliers. Spectra were taken in the presence of hydroxy radicals generated by Fenton reaction(black) and blank(blue). Dojindo's DMPO gives very clear signal and higher S/N rate than supplier E and S.
