Fluorometric techniques for the detection of nitric oxide and metabolites

Curr Protoc Toxicol. 2001 May:Chapter 10:Unit 10.4. doi: 10.1002/0471140856.tx1004s00.

Abstract

Recently fluorometric techniques have been developed to determine NO and S-nitrosothiols with improved sensitivity over spectrophotometric techniques based on similar chemistry. This unit contains protocols for detection and quantification of NO from chemical reactions and from cellular systems, and of S-nitrosothiols in chemical, biochemical, and cellular experiments.
