Strengths:
  • O2•− is one of the most important radicals produced inside human body. Hence, they bear resemblance to biological systems in contrast to DPPH or ABTS which are synthetic radicals

Limitations:
  • Non-specific since NBT can be reduced by several reductases apart O2•− [69]

  • NBT is an expensive reagent and thus it is not affordable by all laboratories
