Objectives

  1. Find endpoints (100%) of oxidation and reduction of HRP


HRP Oxidation

General Protocol:

  1. Run UV-vis of a blank buffer sample.
  2. Prepare a 1mL sample of 10μM HRP in 50Tris, 50Nacl, pH=7.5 buffer. This buffer should be degassed) directly in a clean glass cuvette.
  3. Take spectrum of the prepared 10μM HRP sample.
  4. Add 2μL of K3[Fe(CN)6] to the prepared sample.
  5. Take UV/vis spectrum of the sample.
  6. Repeat steps 4-5 until complete oxidation of HRP.
    • Note: When preparing the sample add all components 'very slowly
    • Note: Allow all samples to sit for approximately 5 minutes before taking the spectrum
    • Note: No more than 20uL should be added of the K3[Fe(CN)6] to the sample.
