ABTS is oxidized to green ABTS+ by appropriate oxidant, which can be reduced to colorless ABTS in the presence of antioxidants. The TAS of the sample can be determined and calculated by measuring the absorbance of ABTS+ at 660 nm. Trolox is an analog of VE and has a similar antioxidant state to that of VE. Trolox is used as a reference substance for total antioxidant status.

Under acid conditions, the oxidizing material in the sample can oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+, which binds highly with xylenol orange to produce a blue-purple complex. When the pH of solution is in the range of 2-3, its maximum absorption wavelength is around 590 nm, and the color depth is proportional to the content of oxidation substances in a certain concentration and a certain time, so as to indirectly calculate the total oxidation state of the sample.

Under the alkaline condition, the sodium tetraphenylborate reacts with the potassium ions in the sample to form the potassium tetraphenylborate which is white and small particles with small solubility. Potassium tetraphenylborate particles are in a stable suspension state in the solution. The turbidity is proportional to the potassium ion concentration in the sample and potassium content can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 450 nm.

ALT catalyze the amino conversion reaction between alanine and α-ketoglutaric acid to produce pyruvic acid and glutamic acid at pH 7.4 and 37°C. Then phenylhydrazine was added to form phenylhydrazone with pyruvic acid. Phenylhydrazone is reddish brown under alkaline conditions. ALT activity can be calculated by measuring the OD values at 510 nm.

Using coenzyme I as a hydrogen carrier, LDH catalyze lactic acid to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate reacted with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form pyruvate dinitrophenylhydrazone, which was red-brown in alkaline solution, and the color depth was proportional to pyruvate concentration. The activity of LDH could be calculated by measuring OD value.

Cu2+ can be reduced to Cu+ by protein in alkaline condition. Cu+ can combine with BCA reagent and form purple complex, which has a maximum absorption peak at 562 nm. The absorbance value is proportional to the protein concentration. Therefore, the protein concentration can be calculated according to the OD value.
