1. A fluorescence assay to measure antioxidant potency.
Dehydroergosterol is used as a membrane probe because its fluorescence intensity decreases when 2,2^'-azobis (2-amidopropane) dihydrochloride oxidation occurs, enabling the sterol oxidation rate to be measured with or without the antioxidant present.

2. Lipid peroxidation Inhibition Capacity Assay (LPIC)
A PhD thesis evaluation of current ORAC methods, and a study of the physicochemical properties of antioxidants in relation to their TAC values, has resulted in the assertion that LPIC more closely aligns with CVD because a) "it better reflects the ability to prevent the oxidation of LDL blood stream particles", and b) "it takes into account the importance of membrane solubility" in the protection of cells from oxidative damage.

3. A new spectrophotometric method
Uses cerium (IV) sulphate in dil. sulphuric acid at room temperature, with pH and oxidant concentration adjusted "such that only antioxidants and not other organic compounds would be oxidised. The method using quercetin and gallic acid standards, was applied to 8 other antioxidants, and was cross-referenced to ABTS and CUPRAC. The results were expressed as TEAC coefficients.

4. A new biamperometric elecrochemical method
Uses Flow injection analysis, interdigitated array microelectrodes and an ABTS cation/ABTS redox couple in phosphate buffer at pH 7.40. The radical cation was enzymatically produced by immobilised peroxidase in a tubular flow-through reactor, giving the advantage over previous spectrometric methods, of instant reaction with freshly generated cations. The new method correlates well with previous spectrophotometric methods.

5. An update to the CUPRAC method.
The cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity assay using copper (II)-neocuproine reagent as the chromogenic agent is described. The preparation procedures are adapted for slowly reacting antioxidants, etc., and flavanoid glycosides were hydrolysed to the aglycone. Results were compared to ABTS/persulphate and Folin methods.

6. Antioxidant capacity and various other bioactivities of Acai.
In a textbook experiment, using seven assays to measure the bioactivity of the freeze-dried Acai fruit, R.L. Prior's team reported on the antioxidant properties of Acai against: superoxide anions, peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrite anions and hydroxyl radicals. Also it proved that acai antioxidants can enter human cells in in vitro experiments.
