Reactive oxygen species (ROS) - also known as oxygen radicals - are a variety of compounds derived from molecular oxygen (O2). At IFW Dresden, reactive oxygen species like singlet oxygen O2, hydroxyl radical ●OH, hydroperoxyl radical ●OOH, superoxide radical anion O2●- can be determined by electron spin (paramagnetic) resonance (ESR/EPR) spectroscopy. Benefits: Spectroscopic detection and identification of reactive oxygen species in solution Spectroscopic detection of organic radical species Determination of the radical concentration (mol L-1) Methods: Electron spin (paramagnetic) resonance (ESR/EPR) spectroscopy
