An easy spectrophotometric method for evaluating quenchers of singlet oxygen is described which can be used for high throughput assessment of large number of samples in a 96-well plate format. Singlet oxygen is a higher energy state molecular oxygen species produced in various intracellular reactions, extracellular reactions by the aid of photo sensitizer, light source and/or by chemical means. In this protocol, we have developed a simple and accurate procedure for generating singlet oxygen with no side reactions at physiological pH. The second aspect of this assay is detection by p-nitroso dimethylaniline (RNO), which is an already established suitable trap with imidazole and/or its derivatives for singlet oxygen. We have synchronized the assay system by performing various combinations of reagent used and also by plotting their spectra, pH and time-dependence curve monitored spectrophotometrically at 440nm
