General description

The photooxidation of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine by Chlamydomonas reinhardii and blue-green algae has been investigated. Electropolymerization of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine on solid substrate electrode (Platinum, Gold and Glassy Electrode) affords stable and water insoluble films.

Application

3,3′-Diaminobenzidine, a dark brown dye, was used as an antibody-specific stain to identify the paired antibodies in breast tissue. 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine may be used for the determination of selenium and for the synthesis of a useful, linear, Schiff-base coordination polymer.
Peroxidase substrate; reagent for spectrophotometric determination of selenium.
