Photo-enhanced oxidizability of tetrazolium salts and its impact on superoxide assaying.
Herein, we report for the first time the enhanced oxidation properties of tetrazolium salts induced by UV-irradiation, and demonstrate that there is real deviation in the photo-induced superoxide anion radical assay based on tetrazolium salts.
