Assessment of low-level superoxide in nonphagocytic cells is crucial for assessing redox-dependent signaling pathways and the role of enzymes such as the NADPH oxidase complex. However, most superoxide probes present inherent limitations. Particularly, assessment of dihydroethidium (DHE) fluorescence is limited
