Key Features & Benefits
Discover the unique advantages of VUP's Trolox for your applications.
Benchmark Antioxidant Standard
Globally recognized standard for Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) assays, enabling standardized comparison of antioxidant strengths.
Water-Soluble Vitamin E Analog
Offers the antioxidant properties related to Vitamin E but with significantly improved water solubility, making it ideal for aqueous systems and biological assays.
Potent Radical Scavenger
Effectively neutralizes various free radicals due to its 6-hydroxychromanol core structure, providing reliable antioxidant protection.
High Purity Quality
Produced to high purity levels (≥98%) suitable for demanding analytical and research applications requiring consistent performance.
Research Versatility
Widely used in academic and industrial research to study oxidative stress mechanisms, evaluate potential antioxidants, and protect cells or biochemicals from oxidative damage.
Convenient Handling
Water solubility makes it convenient for many biological and chemical assays, unlike fat-soluble Vitamin E requiring organic solvents.
