Hi, I am preparing to repeat the experiment using GSH and GSSG standards in order to obtain a more reliable standard curve using the GSH/GSSG Assay Kit from MedChemExpress (HY-K0311), particularly aiming for a higher R² value for the GSSG curve.
I have a few questions before proceeding:
1. Should I continue to perform the assay for the standards in triplicate and construct the curve using the average values?
2. Is it necessary to quantify GSH and GSSG on the same plate, or can I split them across two separate plates? For example, first quantify total GSH in the plasma samples, and then GSSG in the same samples?
3. To dispense the substrate working solution and the coenzyme/enzyme working solution, I used an automatic injector, adding a 30-second delay after each addition. Could these steps have contributed to the large differences observed in the GSSG standard curve values?
Thank you in advance.
