Application
Prior to reaction with alkaline phosphatase, the BCIP reagent is colorless to faint blue and the Nitro BT reagent is yellow. The two-component mixture develops a bluish-purple product with alkaline phosphatase in membrane-type assays. This substrate is not recommended for ELISA assays.
Physical form
Supplied as a two-component buffered alkaline phosphatase substrate containing bromochloroindolyl phosphate (BCIP) and Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT/Thiazolyl Blue/Nitro BT)
A 2 component kit sufficient for preparing 400 mL of working substrate.
