Description
DAB Metal Enhancer, ready-to-use, for immunochemistry, Density (D) ~1 g/cm³, Boiling point (bp) 100 °C, Storage temp. +15 to +25 °C
DAB metal enhancer is used to enhance the signal strength in peroxidase (HRP) detections and to modify the signal colour from brown to purplish gray. Applications include all immunochemical assays like immunohistochemistry and -cytochemistry as well as Western blotting, but DAB metal enhancer may also well be used during in situ hybridization.
When the DAB metal enhancer is applied, the sensitivity of DAB staining is about two times higher than with DAB alone.
For application, the DAB substrate components and buffer reagents (for instance ROTI®DAB-Kit, Art. No. 9202) are simply diluted in DAB metal enhancer instead of water. The purplish gray precipitate resulting from the staining reaction can be detected in visible light and does not bleach during long-term storage. Since it is insoluble in aqueous and organic solvents, slides may be permanently mounted in hydrophilic, or, after dehydration, in hydrophobic mounting medium.

Questions about DAB Metal Enhancer, ready-to-use, for immunochemistry, 100 ml, plastic
What is this article?
DAB Metal Enhancer, ready-to-use, for immunochemistry, 100 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Moisture analysers, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A moisture analyser is a balance with a halogen or infrared heater. It records the loss of mass as a sample dries and reports that loss as moisture. The temperature program and the sample mass decide whether the number is water or is decomposition.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Balances & scales. The sub-category is Moisture analysers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Calibration & test weights, Precision balances, Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, Bench, platform & industrial scales and Analytical balances.
What should I check before I order?
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.
