Strengths:
  • Direct physiological resemblance of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) to the human body [61]

Limitations:
  • Lacks specificity. The rapid decomposition of ONOO forms NO and O2•−. These two species have the potential to oxidize DHR 123. Thus, it can be said that the oxidation of DHR 123 is not directly linked to ONOO [62]

  • Require expensive equipment and reagent, namely fluorescence spectrophotometer, −80 °C freezer, and DHR 123, which are not easily accessible in all laboratories
