Product Description
TMB (3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine) is a crucial component in various laboratory applications, particularly in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). This substrate is renowned for its sensitivity and reliability, making it an essential tool for researchers and educators alike. At eqipped, we offer high-quality TMB to ensure accurate and consistent results in your lab tests.
TMB is widely used in ELISA tests due to its ability to produce a blue color upon reaction with peroxidase, which turns yellow upon addition of acid. This chromogenic reaction is highly sensitive and specific, making it ideal for detecting low concentrations of analytes. Whether you’re conducting research, teaching, or performing routine lab tests, TMB from eqipped provides the precision and reliability you need.

FAQs
What is TMB used for in ELISA?
TMB is used as a substrate in ELISA tests to detect the presence of specific antibodies or antigens. It produces a color change upon reaction with peroxidase, indicating the presence of the target analyte.
How should TMB be stored?
TMB should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It is recommended to store it in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
Is TMB safe to handle?
TMB is considered a high-risk chemical and should be handled with care. It is recommended to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses when handling TMB. Always follow the safety guidelines provided in the product’s material safety data sheet (MSDS).
Can TMB be used in other assays besides ELISA?
While TMB is primarily used in ELISA tests, it can also be used in other assays that require a chromogenic substrate, such as Western blots and immunohistochemistry.
What is the shelf life of TMB?
The shelf life of TMB can vary depending on storage conditions. Generally, it has a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
