properties | 3,3 ',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine is a white crystalline powder, odorless, tasteless, hardly soluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, ether, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl formamide, etc. |
preparation | 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine is an important chromogen reagent. It can be 2,6-dimethylaniline as raw material, after activation, oxidative coupling and purification, to obtain pure 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine, the total yield reaches 65%. |
biological activity | TMB (BM blue) is a color substrate for immunohistochemistry and ELISA. |
use | this product is a non-carcinogenic substitute for benzidine 1 (negative Ames test), suitable as a peroxidase substrate for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The substrate produces a soluble light blue end product that can be read by spectrophotometry at 370 or 620-650nm. The TMB reaction can be terminated with 2MH2SO4 (turning yellow) and the data is read at 450nm. A sensitive and specific reagent used to detect blood, determine hemoglobin, and determine peroxidase. A new and safe chromogen reagent; TMB has been gradually replacing the strong carcinogen benzidine and other carcinogenic benzidine derivatives, and has been used in clinical laboratory, forensic examination, criminal detection and environmental monitoring. Especially in clinical biochemical tests, TMB, as a new substrate for peroxidase, has been widely used in enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); mainly used in the following items: occult blood fingerprint detection; rapid detection of alcohol in saliva; preparation of urine test paper; hepatitis virus detection; pregnancy test; rapid determination of glucose, hemoglobin, and albumin in blood and urine; fecal occult blood Test; determination of granulocyte value in blood, detection of steroids, sex hormones; determination of enzyme activity; antigen, antibody and genetic material |
