Description

Superoxide Dismutase, Bovine Erythrocytes is a highly purified, biologically active enzyme derived from bovine red blood cells. This critical antioxidant enzyme plays a vital role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the dismutation of the superoxide radical into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. It is essential for research and development in life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and nutraceutical applications where the study or modulation of oxidative stress pathways is required. Our product is supplied to meet the stringent demands of high-purity biochemical applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used as a standard or active component in enzymatic assays to study reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, antioxidant mechanisms, and oxidative stress models.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Investigated for its therapeutic potential in formulations targeting inflammatory diseases, ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegenerative disorders, and other conditions linked to oxidative damage.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Incorporated into advanced skincare products for its anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect skin cells from environmental oxidative stress.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Research: Studied as a potential bioactive ingredient in supplements aimed at enhancing systemic antioxidant defenses.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Serves as a key reagent in diagnostic kits designed to measure antioxidant capacity or specific enzyme activities in clinical and research samples.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Used in cell culture media supplements to reduce oxidative stress and improve cell viability and yield in sensitive bioprocessing applications.

Quality Control

Our Superoxide Dismutase, Bovine Erythrocytes is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for specific activity, purity, and identity to ensure consistency and performance for critical research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as activity (units/mg protein), purity by electrophoresis, and endotoxin levels is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant guidelines for research-grade biochemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain optimal enzymatic activity.
