POLYTECH SA is excited to announce the launch of BioLab 2, an innovative portable laboratory kit designed to measure an individual’s redox status. This cutting-edge product, designed and produced in Greece, provides all necessary equipment and a user-friendly application to guide users through each step of the testing process.
Science Facts: Understanding Redox Status
Free radicals are highly unstable molecules formed naturally during the body’s conversion of food into energy, as well as from external sources such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and sunlight. Excess free radicals can cause oxidative stress, leading to cell damage and contributing to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Antioxidants, whether man-made or natural, help prevent or delay some types of cell damage by counteracting oxidative stress. Glutathione, the most important endogenous antioxidant, plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s redox status—the balance between oxidant and antioxidant molecules. Assessing an individual’s redox status can provide valuable insights into whether a nutritional intervention with antioxidants is needed.
Overview of BioLab 2
BioLab 2 was developed to provide a simple, specific, and low-cost tool for accurately estimating an individual’s redox status by measuring glutathione levels. The kit uses a simplified method based on the DTNB technique, ensuring highly accurate results. BioLab 2 combines affordability, portability, and ease of use to meet the needs of internal (not outsourced) measurement of redox status.
When used in conjunction with BioLab 1, BioLab 2 offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and improving antioxidant capacity and redox status through dietary adjustments.
