Short Description
Quantifies Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) levels.
Brand
GuardianOx
Development Stage
Research-Grade Oxidative Stress Assay Development
Description
The GuardianOx™ Ascorbic Acid Assay Kit quantifies Vitamin C levels to validate antioxidant claims in nutraceuticals and ensure chemical stability in pharmaceutical formulations. This simple, adaptable procedure allows formulators to assess the degradation of active ingredients and the integrity of excipients over time. By verifying antioxidant capacity, it supports quality control measures and shelf-life studies for vitamin-enriched products.
