Abstract
An HPLC assay for hydroxyl radicals is described. The hydroxyl radical was trapped by terephthalic acid (non-fluorescent), and 2-hydroxyl terephthalic acid (fluorescent) was quantitated by HPLC-fluorescence detection. At a terephthalic acid concentration of 4.25 μmol/L, the hydroxyl radical formed in the Fenton reaction was successfully assayed in the concentration range of hydrogen peroxide of 2.5-50 μmol/L, where the concentration of Fe(II) was 50 μmol/L. The fluorescence of 2-hydroxy terephthalate was stable at 24 h, and its detection limit by this method was 5 nmol/L (100 fmol).
