Amplex UltraRed

Description

Amplex red (AmR) is used as an extrinsic fluorophore for measurement of hydrogen peroxide production (ROS) by cells or mitochondrial preparations. The reaction of H₂O₂ and AmR is catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase to produce the red fluorescent compound resorufin (excitation wavelength 563 nm, emission 587 nm). The change of emitted fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of H₂O₂ added, whereby the H₂O₂ is consumed.

Abbreviation: AmR

Antioxidant capacity of experimental media

Media with high antioxidant activity compete with HRP and partially consume H₂O₂ before it can react with AmR to form the active fluorophore resorufin. This was shown by comparing the resorufin-sensitivitiy and H₂O₂-sensitivity.

The H₂O₂-sensitivity is the change of fluorescence signal per µM H₂O₂ added in calibrations with H₂O₂ titration in different media containing HRP and AmR;
the resorufin-sensitivity is the change of fluorescence signal per µM resorufin added in calibrations with resorufin titration in these media containing HRP and AmR.

The H₂O₂-sensitivity is much higher in a simple phosphate buffer compared to media with strong antioxidant capacity. In contrast, this is not the case for the resorufin-sensitivity.

-Media with high antioxidant activity compete with HRP and partially consume H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> before it can react with Amplex (R) (Ultra)Red  to form the active fluorophore resorufin. This was shown by comparing
-* the sensitivity as determined by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> additions to different media containing HRP and Amplex (R) UltraRed;
-* the sensitivity as determined by addition of the actual fluorophore resorufin to the same media (signal change per added resorufin); the sensitivity is signal change per added H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> or resorufin.
-The sensitivity, as determined by addition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, is much higher in a simple phosphate buffer compared to media with strong antioxidant capacity. In contrast, this is not the case for the sensitivity with respect to resorufin.
-A chemical background drift, which is always observed for the Amplex /HRP system, is independent of the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> sensitivity versus the same (absolute) drift expressed as (calibrated)  "apparent H2O2 production" will be higher in a medium with low H2O2  sensitivity as compared to a medium with high H2O2 sensitivity.
-As  expected some traditional KCl based media, similar to those used in   ... showed a far higher sensitivity against H2O2 addition than MiR05, while some experiments indicated a lower respiration.
