General description

SIGMAFAST DAB with Metal Enhancer Tablets require no additional buffers or steps to prepare an active substrate solution for detection of peroxidase activity. Commom use is in immunohistology as a precipitating substrate.

Application

SIGMAFAST DAB with Metal Enhancer has been used in the visualization of lung tissue sections using immunohistochemistry,[1] dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons[2] and immunohistochemical staining for collagen in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cells.[3]
The DAB reaction is enhanced by the addition of CoCl2 and produces a more intense stain which is resistant to alcohol.

Reconstitution

Each tablet set dissolved in 5 mL deionized water yields a ready-to-use buffered solution containing DAB with a metal enhancer.

  3. How can I block endogenous peroxidase activity when using Product D0426, SIGMAFAST™ DAB with Metal Enhancer, in immunohistochemistry?

    1 answer
    1. Endogenous peroxidase activity may be blocked by flooding the slide with a solution of 4 parts methanol and 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide.

      Helpful?

  4. What is the metal enhancer in Product D0426, SIGMAFAST™ DAB with Metal Enhancer, and what is the purpose of it?

    1 answer
    1. The metal enhancer is cobalt chloride (CoCl2). Cobalt chloride produces a more intense stain which enhances the sensitivity of the assay and allows for visualization of the staining when a standard DAB chromogen would fail to demonstrate the staining.
