Identify, quantify, and understand reactive oxygen species – precisely and reliably with state-of-the-art ESR/EPR analysis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) – from singlet oxygen to hydroxyl and superoxide radicals – play a crucial role in many industrial processes, materials, and biological systems. At the IFW Dresden, we detect and identify these highly reactive species using electron spin or electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR/EPR). Our analyses enable the precise determination of ROS in solutions or organic matrices and provide quantitative concentration data – a crucial building block for product development, quality control, and process optimization.
