Reliable assessment of antioxidant capacity with high reproducibility and system compatibility

Oxidative stress is known to be the cause for more than 100 diseases, and quantifying antioxidant level which work against oxidative reactions in the living body is considered crucial. Our BAP test quantifies the body’s reducing power to iron, which acts as a sensitive antioxidant. Like d-ROMs test, it can be applied not only to clinical research but also to various other fields (food, sports, etc.).

What it Measures


What the BAP Test Measures

The BAP test evaluates the antioxidant capacity of biological samples by measuring their ability to reduce ferric ions.

Why it Matters


Why Antioxidant Capacity Matters

Antioxidant capacity reflects the ability of the body to counteract oxidative stress.
Evaluating this balance is essential for understanding physiological conditions and health status.

Why Our Reagents


Why Choose Our BAP Reagents

・Optimized for Automated Analyzers
Designed for seamless integration into clinical chemistry systems
・High Reproducibility
Stable and consistent results across samples and reagent lots
・Efficient Workflow
Ready-to-use formulation with minimal preparation

Measurement Principle


Antioxidants in the sample reduce ferric ions (Fe³⁺) to ferrous ions (Fe²⁺), resulting in a color change.

The degree of discoloration is proportional to the antioxidant capacity.
