Application

TMB is a substrate for horseradish peroxidase. Forms a soluble blue end product that may be read at 370 nm or 655 nm. The TMB reaction may be stopped with 0.5 M H2SO4, resulting in a yellow color, and read at 450 nm. Recommended for ELISA (microwell) procedures, not recommended for membrane applications.
3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine has been used in a study to demonstrate that by measuring substrate absorption values off the absorption maximum, the measuring range of any immunoenzymometric assay can be extended significantly without jeopardizing assay characteristics. 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine has also been used in a study to understand the formation of CuS concave superstructures with peroxidase-like activity.

Caution

This substrate is very light-sensitive and should be protected from direct sunlight or UV sources.

Ready-to-use.

Parkinson's' disease (PD) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) are progressive brain disorders characterized by intracellular accumulations of α-synuclein and nerve cell loss in specific brain areas. This loss causes problems with movement, balance and/or autonomic functions. Naturally occurring autoantibodies (NAbs)

Smoothened (SMO) is a GPCR that mediates hedgehog signaling. Hedgehog binds the transmembrane protein Patched, which in turn regulates SMO activation. Overactive SMO signaling is oncogenic and is therefore a clinically established drug target. Here we establish a nanoluciferase bioluminescence

Colorimetric Alkaline Phosphatase and Peroxidase Substrate Detection Systems

Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) is used with the alkaline phosphatase substrate 5-Bromo- 4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate (BCIP) in western blotting and immunohistological staining procedures. These substrate systems produce an insoluble NBT diformazan end product that is blue to purple in color and can be observed visually.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
