During the analysis of lipid peroxidization (MDA assay) as a stress bio marker under abiotic condition in microbial cells by manual method -
1. is it necessary to carry out the Standard curve ?
2.If yes, MDA (commercially available) should be used as a standard or any other alternative standard is available?
3. Which solvent is to be used for dissolving TBA - a. TCA or b. NaOH ?
4. how to calculate (formula) the concentration of MDA in the sample after assay ?
Thank you
