  • H2DCFDA
    Name: Anonymous
    Species: Human
    Assay Type: In Vivo
    Cell Line/Tissue: HepG2
    Verified Customer | Posted 09/06/2025
    I used H2DCFDA to measure the overproduction of ROS by HepG2 cells under hypoxic and hyperglycemic conditions. Cells were treated with 10 μM of H2DCFDA for 30 min at 37 0C and imaged under a fluorescent microscope.

  • H2DCFDA detects intracellular ROS levels in 3D Glioblastoma cell lines
    Name: sara Azeem
    Species: Human
    Assay Type: In Vitro
    Cell Line/Tissue: G7
    Verified Customer | Posted 01/08/2020
    Try different dilutions to get the one best suited to you. We treated the cells for 30 minutes and that was enough to get robust results
    Glioblatsoma cell line G7 was cultured in 3D sphere model and the levels of intracellular ROS were measured.

  • H2DCFDA detects intracellular ROS levels in 15d-PGJ2 treated cardiomyocytes
    Name: Chintan Koyani
    Species: Mouse
    Assay Type: In Vitro
    Cell Line/Tissue: HL-1 cardiomyocytes
    Verified Customer | Posted 10/13/2018
    HL-1 cardiomyocytes were stimulated with 15d-PGJ2 up to 60 min to follow intracellular ROS levels using H2DCFDA.
