product name

ABTS Enhancer, for peroxidase detection

Quality Level

100

form

liquid

storage temp.

2-8°C

Application

2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) has been used for the determination of laccase activity in Trametes versicolor. It may be suitable for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting signal strength emitted by cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) is a non-phenolic substrate. It might exhibit antioxidant property. The detection of the horseradish peroxidase substrate ABTS can be improved by the addition of a chemical enhancer. The ABTS enhancer increases the absorbance of the oxidized product 50-150%. This increase is used to improve assay sensitivity or conserve assay components.

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.
