TMB X-tra (& prestained)
Cat. No. 4800 / 4810
TMB (3, 3", 5, 5"-tetramethylbenzidine) is a chromogenic substrate for Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP). TMB produces a deep blue color during the enzymatic degradation of hydrogen peroxide by HRP, and the addition of a stop solution gives a clear yellow color that absorbs at 450nm. This substrate gives higher signal and has a higher sensitivity in ELISA than OPD (ortho-phenylenediamine dichloride).
TMB X-tra characteristics are:
- High sensitivity
- Stable and robust
- Aqueous based – no organic solvents (REACH Annex XVII compliant)
- Low lot-to-lot variation
For traceable pipetting, we recommend using pink colored TMB X-tra Prestained (cat. no. 4810). The pink indicator disappears after addition of the stop solution.
The product is available in bulk quantities and as customized solutions.
