What do we do with <strong>EPR</strong>?<br />

We can detect & measure free radicals and paramagnetic<br />

species<br />

• High sensitivity (nanomolar concentrations)<br />

• No background<br />

• Definitive & quantitative<br />

Direct detection<br />

e.g.: semiquinones, nitroxides, trityls<br />

Indirect detection<br />

Spin-trapping<br />

Species: superoxide, hydroxyl, alkyl, NO<br />

Spin-traps: DMPO, PBN, DEPMPO, Fe-DTCs<br />

Chemical modifications<br />

Spin-formation : hydroxylamines (Dikhalov et al)<br />

Spin-change : nitronylnitroxides ( Kalyanaraman et al)<br />

Spin-loss : trityl radicals
