PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description

The NO (Nitric Oxide) Plus Detection Kit provides a reliable method for indirect measurement of nitric oxide (NO) by quantifying nitrite (NO₂⁻) in various biological samples including urine, plasma, serum, culture media, and tissue homogenates.

This product is based on the Diazotization assay (Griess method). Nitrite reacts with sulfanilamide to form a diazonium salt, which subsequently couples with naphthylethylenediamine to generate a colorimetric signal. The intensity of the color correlates with nitric oxide concentration.

 

Nitric oxide is an important effector molecule involved in macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity, inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, and DNA synthesis. It is also recognized as a regulator of immune response and anti-tumor activity.

Q How can NO be measured in plasma or serum samples?
A Plasma and serum samples can be analyzed using the same protocol as cultured cell samples. For optimal results, dilute the sample 2- to 10-fold with PBS, filter it through a 0.22 μm membrane filter to remove particulates, and then perform the assay according to the instruction manual.

 

Q The product description states that total NO can be measured, but the assay detects only nitrite (NO₂⁻). Why?
A The Griess assay directly measures nitrite (NO₂⁻), which is a stable end product of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Nitrate (NO₃⁻) is not detected directly and must first be converted to nitrite using nitrate reductase. Since most nitric oxide produced in biological systems is ultimately converted to nitrite, nitrite measurement is sufficient for many biological applications. If total NO (nitrite + nitrate) quantification is required, pretreat the sample with nitrate reductase to convert nitrate to nitrite before performing the assay.
