Dilution of Sample
The optimal sampling volume are different for different species, the SOD also are different for different samples. It is recommended to take 2~3 samples to do a pre-experiment, diluting a series of diluent and determine the dilution factor when the SOD inhibition ratio is 25%~65% (the optimal inhibition ratio is the range of 40%~60%.) before formal experiment.
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| Human serum | 3-5 |
| Rat serum | 20-30 |
| Urine | 1 |
| Human hydrothorax | 2 |
| Cell culture supernatant | 2-3 |
| 10% Rat liver tissue homogenate | 340-370 |
| 10% Rat heart tissue homogenate | 80-100 |
| 10% Rat kidney tissue homogenate | 100-120 |
| 10% Rat brain tissue homogenate | 50-100 |
| 10% Plant tissue homogenate | 5-10 |
| HepG2 cells (3 mgprot/mL) | 30-40 |
Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).
Detection Principle
The activity of SOD was measured by WST-1 method in this kit and the principles of the WST-1 is as follows. Xanthine Oxidase (XO) can catalyze WST-1 react with O2.- to generate a water-soluble formazan dye. SOD can catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide anions, so the reaction can be inhibited by SOD, and the activity of SOD is negatively correlated with the amount of formazan dye. Therefore, the activity of SOD can be determined by the colorimetric analysis of WST-1 products.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum 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 (U/mL) | 1.20 | 8.40 | 12.50 |
| %CV | 3.2 | 3.0 | 2.5 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/mL) | 1.20 | 8.40 | 12.50 |
| %CV | 3.4 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
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 98%.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (U/mL) | 3.5 | 9.6 | 13 |
| Observed Conc. (U/mL) | 3.5 | 9.1 | 12.6 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 99 | 95 | 97 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.2 U/mL T-SOD. 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.
