Bioactivity | MCLA hydrochloride is a chemiluminescent reagent which can be used to quantify aqueous concentrations of superoxide. |
Invitro | The non-specific luminescence remains almost constant for 10 min after the addition of MCLA hydrochloride (MCLA) and is not significantly influenced by SOD. The MCLA hydrochloride method is, however, 4.5-times more sensitive than the CLA method[1]. |
