There are quite a few reagents or assay kits available for quantitating thiols in biological systems. However, all the commercial kits either lack sensitivity or have tedious protocols. Our Amplite™ Fluorimetric Glutathione GSH/GSSG Ratio Assay Kit provides an ultrasensitive assay to quantitate GSH in the sample. The kit uses a proprietary non-fluorescent dye that becomes strongly fluorescent upon reacting with GSH. With a one-step fluorimetric method, the kit can detect as little as 1 picomole of GSH or GSSG in a 100 µL assay volume (10 nM; Figures 1 and 2). The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and readily adapted to automation without a separation step. Its signal can be easily read by a fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 490/520 nm.
