General description

4-Chloro-1-naphthol is a substrate for HRP in a reaction that results in a colored precipitate. It is commonly used for colorimetric detection and visualization of proteins in western blotting.

Application

Suitable for visualizing protein-peroxidase conjugates in western blotting.

Components

This product contains 0.48 mM 4-chloro-1-naphthol, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.2 M NaCl and 17% methanol.

Other Notes

0.48 mM 4-chloro-1-naphthol, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.2 M NaCl and 17% methanol.

Principle

Enzymes such as HRP convert 4-Chloro-1-naphthol to a purple-colored precipitate on the blot that is readily visible to the eye.

Colorimetric Detection of Western blot using 4-Chloro-1-Naphthol Solution Protocol

This solution is used as a substrate for detecting horseradish-peroxidase conjugates in Western blotting.

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.
