Application

3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is a noncarcinogenic substitute (Ames test negative) for benzidine suitable as peroxidase substrate for use in ELISA procedures. The substrate produces a soluble end product that is pale blue in color and can be read spectrophotometrically at 370 or 620-650 nm. The TMB reaction may be stopped with 2 M H2SO4 (resulting in a yellow color), and read at 450 nm. A sensitive and specific reagent for the detection of blood, assay of hemoglobin, assay of peroxidases.
3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine has been used as a substrate for peroxidase in:
  • enzyme-immunoassay (EIA)[1]
  • indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)[2]
  • sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Questions

  1. I Would Like to Kindly Ask for Stability Data for Temperature Excursion.

    1 answer
    1. This compound is relatively stable in powder form and ships at ambient temperatures globally, year round. Under these shipping conditions, transit times of up to 2 weeks are permitted. Brief temperature excursions are not expected to impact the quality of the product. However, extreme or long term temperature excursion studies have not been conducted. In the event of a temperature excursion, document the maximum temperature and duration, return the material to 2–8 °C, verify that the appearance remains white to light beige without caking or discoloration, and protect the product from light, and moisture.
