Nitric oxide (NO) has active chemical properties and is quickly metabolized into NO2- and NO3- in the body, while NO2- is further transformed into NO3-. This method uses nitrate reductase specifically to reduce NO3- to NO2-, and its concentration is determined by the color depth.
Applications
It was used to detect the content of NO in serum (plasma), urine, tissue, cells and cell supernatant.
Procedure
1. Prepare standard samples and experimental samples. 2. Add reaction reagents in order for reaction. 3. Measure the absorbance of each tube. 4. Make the mark curve and calculate the result.
