TMB For ELISA Peroxidase Chromogen Substrate (One component) Bader says not IHC Reagent?

• Description:

  3,3'5,5’- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is a soluble chromogen substrate for horseradish peroxidase detection systems for ELISA. This is ready to use one component system and gives soluble blue color with peroxidase which absorbs at 653 nm; on acidification gives stable yellow color that absorbs at 450 nm.

• Specifications:

  Ready-to-use Peroxidase Chromogen Substrate (One component)

• Other Statements:

  For research use only; not for use in diagnostic procedures. FOR IN VITRO LABORATORY USE ONLY

• Label:

  ICT

• Type:

  IHC Reagents

• Applications:

  ELISA

• Assay Protocol:

  1. After the peroxidase reaction, wash ELISA plate with buffer 5-7 X (this buffer should not contain any sodium azide because peroxidase is inactivated). Remove air bubbles thoroughly from the ELISA plate. 2. Add 50µl of ready to use TMB in each Well of ELISA plate. 3. Monitor color development until the positive control has desired blue color; normally it takes 2-10 minutes. 4. Read absorbance using microtiter plate reader at 653 nm. 5. To stop the reaction, add 50µl of 0.5M sulfuric acid. Mix thoroughly and read absorbance at 450 nm immediately because the yellow color intensity may change overtime.

• Target Description:

  3,3'5,5’- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is a soluble chromogen substrate for horseradish peroxidase detection systems for ELISA. This is ready to use one component system and gives soluble blue color with peroxidase which absorbs at 653 nm; on acidification gives stable yellow color that absorbs at 450 nm. The extinction coefficient of blue color ( E653 nm = 3.9 x 104 mol-1 cm-1 ), and the yellow color is ( E450 nm = 5.9 x 104 mol-1 cm-1 ). TMB yields stable blue color as end product ., that can be measured at 650 nm; the color formation is function of time The reaction is stopped by adding acid solution it yields a yellow color that can be measured at 450 nm. This yellow color is 1.5 X more sensitive than blue color. This TMB solution contains TMB, 2.08 mMol L-1, Hydrogen Peroxide substrate, citrate buffer and non-toxic proprietary stabilizers.
