General description

o-Phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (OPD) is a chromogenic substrate that can be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedures as it utilizes horseradish peroxidase conjugates. The substrate produces a soluble end product that is orange-brown and can be read spectrophotometrically at 450 nm. The OPD reaction may be stopped with 3N HCl or 3M H2SO4 and read at 492 nm.

Application

Phenylenediamine (O-Phenylenediamine) may be used in a wide variety of peroxidase based chromogenic assays and detection systems such as those based upon peroxidase conjugated primary and secondary antibodies.
