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
