Popular substrate of peroxidases. DAB is used for biochemical and histological detection of endogenous peroxidases like catalase and cytochome oxidase. Additionally, it is the most common substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in histochemical and cytological assays. DAB is oxidised by HRP, forming a brown precipitate, which is unsoluble in aqueous and organic solvents. This precipitate can be detected in visible light and does not bleach during long-term storage.
Working concentration: 0.05-0.1 % (0.5-1 mg/ml) DAB in buffer (PBS, TBS, pH 7.0-7.6) containing 0.01 % hydrogen peroxide. Always use freshly prepared working solution. For oxidation high concentrations of fresh hydrogen peroxide are needed.

Questions about 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride, min. 98 %, p.a., 1 g, glass
What is this article?
3,3'-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride, min. 98 %, p.a., 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Protein biology (other), inside Protein biology & Western blot, in Life Science & Microbiology.
This shelf is the protein-biology article that is not a membrane and not an extraction kit: stains for gels, buffers, small tools of a protein bench. The method, a gel stain or a quantitation assay, still chooses the bottle.
Protein work separates a mixture, then asks which protein is which. Extraction and purification take the protein out of the cell. A marker shows the masses. A Western blot moves the separated proteins onto a membrane and probes them with an antibody. The membrane, nitrocellulose or PVDF, has to bind the protein and survive the washes. Antibodies and methods are in PubMed. Reference material is at ATCC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Protein biology & Western blot. The sub-category is Protein biology (other). The catalogue is Life Science & Microbiology.
Shelves beside this one are Blotting membranes & papers and Protein extraction, purification & markers.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
