Something else you may want to consider for evaluation of the
oxidative burst is using the dihydrorhodamine assay. While I wouldn't
recommend using it concurrently with FITC zymosan, it is a fast, simple
assay (about an hour, from start to finish), and is very specific for
superoxide and/or hydrogen peroxide production.
Here is the reference...
