Dilution of Sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.17-120 nmol/mL).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| 10% Epipremnum aureum tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Green pepper tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Eggplant tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 10% Bitter gourd tissue homogenate | 1 |
Note: The diluent is reagent 5 working solution.
Detection Principle
MDA in the catabolite of lipid peroxide can react with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and produce red compound, which has a maximum absorption peak at 532 nm.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three epipremnum aureum tissue samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (nmol/mL) | 3.50 | 35.40 | 84.20 |
| %CV | 2.5 | 2.1 | 2.0 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three epipremnum aureum tissue samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (nmol/mL) | 3.50 | 35.40 | 84.20 |
| %CV | 5.8 | 6.2 | 6.3 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 95%.
| Standard 1 | Standard 2 | Standard 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (nmol/mL) | 28 | 65 | 96 |
| Observed Conc. (nmol/mL) | 27.7 | 61.1 | 88.3 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 99 | 94 | 92 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.17 nmol/mL MDA. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
Standard Curve:
As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:
| Concentration (nmol/mL) | 0 | 15 | 35 | 55 | 75 | 100 | 200 |
| Average OD | 0.004 | 0.168 | 0.389 | 0.609 | 0.85 | 1.109 | 1.381 |
| Absoluted OD | 0 | 0.164 | 0.385 | 0.605 | 0.846 | 1.105 | 1.377 |
