Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is a global measure of the non-enzymatic antioxidant activity that integrates the individual effect of all antioxidants in a given matrix, and their additive, synergistic or antagonistic interactions. TAC is considered an important parameter to establish the redox state of biological and agri-food samples and can be used as an indirect marker of sample oxidation. BRS device provides a rapid, simple and sensitive alternative to spectrophotometric assays for TAC determination. BRS device uses a voltammetric technique to measure TAC. The sample is electrochemically oxidized by applying a potential scan and TAC value is calculated from the voltammetric charge.  BRS is a new electrochemical and portable device designed for measurement the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of a wide variety of samples: - BIOMEDICAL SAMPLES: to measure oxidative stress. Samples can be tested directly. Tested samples: plasma, serum, blood, saliva, urine, cells and tissue. - AGRIFOOD SAMPLES: for study the antioxidant capacity of new products/additives; study The impact of processing methods, packaging and storage conditions on antioxidant properties; shelf-life, remaining useful life of the products or  quality and safety of the products. This type of samples should be mixed with BRS Electrolyte to insure the measurement. Tested samples: juices, drink and beverages, plant and vegetable extracts, among other. This samples should be mixed with BRS Electrolyte. BRS is a very versatile tool due to its ability to measure in almost every liquid sample and can be used in many fields.
