TMB EASE (C09-1077-537)

TMB (3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine) is a chromogenic substrate for Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP). TMB produces a deep blue color during the enzymatic degradation of hydrogen peroxide by HRP, and the addition of a stop solution gives a clear yellow color that absorbs at 450nm.TMB EASE characteristics are:1:1 replacement of carcinogenic 2mg OPD  Aqueous based – no organic solvents (REACH Annex XVII compliant)Low lot-to-lot variationProduct CharacteristicsTMB (3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine) is a chromogenic substrate for Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP). TMB produces a deep blue color during the enzymatic degradation of hydrogen peroxide by HRP, and the addition of a stop solution gives a clear yellow color that absorbs at 450nm.TMB EASE is a ready-to-use and stable aqueous formulation. This substrate gives a slow assay reaction and is highly suitable for the direct switch from OPD (ortho-phenylenediamine dichloride) based assays. It does not contain NMP (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) making it REACH Restricted Substances List Annex XVII compliant, while ensuring maximal safety during use, and minimal waste problems after use.Composition & PropertiesReady-to-use substrate: Includes substrate buffer and hydrogen peroxide. No other reagents should be added.Working Procedure1. The desired amount of substrate is poured into a sealed container and allowed to reach room temperature in the dark before use.2. A recommended volume of 100 µl substrate solution per microtiter well is added. Time of development is typically 5-30 minutes. Keep the plate in the dark during incubation.3. In kinetic assays, the blue color is read directly at 650 nm. For endpoint assays 100 µl (equal volumes) of 0.20 M sulphuric acid is added and the absorbance is read at 450/620 nm. The yellow solution is stable for at least one hour.Tips & Tricks • If reduced intensity is required, it is recommended to shorten the time of development or to dilute the conjugate/antibody in the immunoassay further. • Dilution of the substrate is not recommended.• In case of incidents of precipitation with very high OD-values, we can recommend the use of the TMB X-tnd (cat. no. T494100). Handling & Storage • Store solution at 2-8 °C in the dark. • Avoid exposure to light, heat and contamination with metal ions or peroxidase. • Re-dispense only into bottles made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), amber color. • Dispensing guidelines are available upon request. Specifications and Purity: Ready-to-use (RTU). Related Document: https://ald-pub-files.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/aladdinsci/pdp/sds/1/T494067-SCI_d8421471c363e0eeb313f382378691c5.pdf.
