Product Description
Tetrazolium Salt (TTC) is a widely used biochemical reagent in plant science and microbiology. This high-purity, plant culture-tested TTC salt is ideal for determining seed viability, assessing microbial activity, and conducting plant tissue culture experiments. With a purity of 99.0%, it ensures reliable and accurate results in your research or educational projects.
Whether you’re a student working on a botany project or a researcher studying seed germination, this TTC salt provides consistent performance. Its ability to form a red-colored formazan compound when reduced by living cells makes it an essential tool for viability assays. eqipped offers this premium-grade TTC salt in convenient pack sizes to suit your laboratory needs.
For best results, store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always handle with care, as TTC is a chemical reagent and should be used with appropriate safety measures.
How Tetrazolium Salt (TTC) Works
TTC functions as a redox indicator, turning from colorless to red when reduced by dehydrogenase enzymes in living cells. This color change helps researchers visually assess cellular activity, making it invaluable for:
- Seed viability testing
- Plant tissue culture studies
- Microbial metabolic activity assays
- Environmental monitoring of soil and water samples
Why Researchers Trust This Product
This TTC salt is specifically tested for plant culture applications, ensuring compatibility with botanical research. Its high purity minimizes interference in experiments, while the fine powder form allows for easy dissolution in aqueous solutions. Many educational institutions and research labs prefer this grade for its reliability in both qualitative and quantitative assays.
Safety and Handling
While TTC is generally safe when handled properly, it’s important to follow standard laboratory safety protocols. Wear appropriate protective equipment, avoid inhalation, and dispose of waste according to local regulations. For detailed safety information, always refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
