Xanthine oxidase (XO)is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. It plays an important role in the catabolism of purines. Xanthine oxidase is normally found in liver and jejunum. During severe liver damage, xanthine oxidase is released into blood, so a blood assay for XO is a way to determine if liver damage has happened. Xanthinuria is a rare genetic disorder where the lack of xanthine oxidase leads to high concentration of xanthine in blood and can cause health problems such as renal failure. The Amplite® Colorimetric Xanthine Oxidase Assay Kit provides a quick and ultrasensitive method for the measurement of xanthine oxidase activities. It can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and easily adapted to automation without a separation step. In the assay, xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of purine bases, hypoxanthine or xanthine to uric acid and superoxide , which spontaneously degrades to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The kit uses our Amplite® Red substrate which enables a dual recordable mode. The color signal can be easily read at ~570 nm with an absorbance microplate reader. With the Amplite® Colorimetric Xanthine Oxidase Assay Kit, we have detected as little as 0.3 mU/mL xanthine oxidase in a 100 µL reaction volume.

Protocol Summary
- Prepare and add XO standards and/or test samples (50 µL)
- Prepare and add XO Assay working solution (50 µL)
- Incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes
- Read absorbance increase at OD ratio of 570/610 nm
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS
Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Note The Amplite™ Red substrate is unstable in the presence of thiols such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and 2-mercaptoethanol. The final concentration of DTT or 2-mercaptoethanol in the reaction should be no higher than 10 µM. The Amplite™ Red substrate is also unstable at high pH (> 8.5). Therefore, the reaction should be performed at pH 7–8. The provided Assay Buffer (pH 7.4) is recommended.
Note The unused HRP stock solution (500X) should be divided into single use aliquots and stored them at -20 oC.
Note The unused XO stock solution should be divided into single use aliquots and stored at -20 ºC.
1. Amplite™ Red stock solution (250X)
Add 40 µL of DMSO (Component F) into the vial of Amplite™ Red substrate (Component A). The stock solution should be used promptly. Note The Amplite™ Red substrate is unstable in the presence of thiols such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and 2-mercaptoethanol. The final concentration of DTT or 2-mercaptoethanol in the reaction should be no higher than 10 µM. The Amplite™ Red substrate is also unstable at high pH (> 8.5). Therefore, the reaction should be performed at pH 7–8. The provided Assay Buffer (pH 7.4) is recommended.
2. HRP stock solution (500X)
Add 100 µL of Assay Buffer (Component B) into the vial of HRP (Component C). Note The unused HRP stock solution (500X) should be divided into single use aliquots and stored them at -20 oC.
3. Xanthine Oxidase (XO) stock solution
Add 200 µL of Assay Buffer (Component B) into the vial of Xanthine Oxidase Standard (Component E). Note The unused XO stock solution should be divided into single use aliquots and stored at -20 ºC.

Xanthine Oxidase standard
Add 10 µL of 1 U/mL XO stock solution into 990 µL of Assay Buffer (Component B) to make 10 mU/mL XO standard solution.Perform 1:3 serial dilutions to get approximately 10, 3, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01 and 0 mU/mL serially diluted XO standards.PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

- Add XO standards and XO containing test samples into a white clear bottom microplate as described in Tables 1 and 2.
- Add 50 µL of XO Assay working solution into each well of XO standard, blank control, and test samples (Table 1) to make the total XO assay volume of 100 µL/well.
Note For a 384-well plate, add 25 µL of sample and 25 µL of assay reaction mixture into each well. - Incubate the reaction for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature, protected from light.
- Monitor signal intensity with an absorbance plate reader at OD ratio of 570/610 nm.

Figure 1. Xanthine oxidase dose response was measured with Amplite® Colorimetric Xanthine Oxidase Assay Kit in a white or black wall/clear bottom 96-well microplate using a SpectraMax microplate reader (Molecular Devices). As low as 0.12 mU/mL xanthine oxidase was detected with 30 minutes incubation time (n=3).
