I want to check the antioxidant activity of ZnO nano particles and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity is one of them. Can anyone give the protocol to check such activity of ZnO nano particles?
Check this article or simply use this method for H2O2 scavenging assay: take 25ul test sample+ 25ul ferrous sulphate (3mM)+ 25ul 1,10-phanathroline (3mM) + 25ul H2O2 (0.01%) followed bu incubation for 1 h at 37 °C and read at 536nm spectrophotometrically.
Calculation(%)= S-B/C-B*100 where S is sample (25ul sample), B is blank (25ul instead of sample) and C is control (no H2O2)
