Assessing Antioxidant Status 139addition of ascorbate oxidase should not result in any difference in the absorbancegiven as there is no ascorbic acid to destroy in these solutions.4. Guidelines on quality control samples and expected performance:For ease of use and reliability, aqueous ascorbic acid solutions at 100, 250,500, and 1000 µM (equivalent to 200, 500, 1000, and 2000 µM FRAP, preparedfresh daily) and aged QC serum freshly spiked with ascorbic acid are recommendedas quality control samples. These should be run in parallel with testsamples to actively monitor the performance of the test and to ensure comparabilitywith previous results.Expected precision and sensitivity of the FRASC assay:Precision is high in FRASC: typical within- and between- run CVs obtained inour laboratories are, respectively,
