Q1: How do you prevent oxidation artifacts during sample processing?

A1: We incorporate a strict redox-stabilizing workflow, including rapid acidification, controlled derivatization steps, and specialized buffers that preserve the native GSH/GSSG ratio. This eliminates the overestimation of GSSG common in standard assays, making our data reliable for ER redox state studies.

Q2: What sample types and volumes do you accept?

A2: We accept a wide range of biological samples, including cell lysates (especially rare or primary cells), tissues, plasma, and biofluids. For multi-center or clinical trials, we provide stabilization protocols for sample collection and shipping across long distances, ensuring stability even under variable temperature conditions.

Glutathione (GSH/GSSG) Assay Service

Background Service What We Can Offer Workflow Highlights FAQs Contact

Reliable measurement of both reduced and oxidized glutathione in biological specimens is often hindered by spontaneous oxidation, inconsistent handling procedures, and insufficient assay sensitivity. In response, we provide a dedicated Glutathione (GSH/GSSG) Assay Service tailored for robust assessment of total glutathione pools and redox equilibrium. Our platform integrates streamlined sample processing, effective oxidation prevention, and proven enzymatic recycling techniques to deliver high-sensitivity results.

Introduction

Glutathione, existing primarily in its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, serves as a master regulator of cellular redox homeostasis, antioxidant defense, and immune modulation, particularly within the dynamic microenvironment of cell-mediated immunity. Accordingly, accurate quantification of the GSH/GSSG ratio via a reliable Glutathione Assay is indispensable for dissecting redox signaling in T cell activation, differentiation, and cytotoxicity, as well as for evaluating metabolic dysregulation in pathological states such as chronic infection and cancer immunotherapy.
