General description
3, 3′ diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) is a carcinogen that should be used safely. It is one of the major sensitive substrates for HRP (horseradish peroxidase). DAB is brown or amber in color and becomes insoluble and precipitates over the antigen-antibody site due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase.
Application
- DAB Substrate is a color sustrate for peroxidases and is used in a variety of applications:Immunohistocytochemistry
- In situ hybridization
- Western blot
- Dot blot
Packaging
Preparation Note
- Determine the volume of substrate required for the development of peroxidase.
- Remove the DAB/metal concentrate (10x) from -15 to -25 °C storage.
Note: Do not bring to 15 to 25 °C. - Dilute the DAB/metal concentrate (10x) with the peroxide buffer to a 1x working solution. For example, if 5 ml of substrate are required, dilute 500 μl of the DAB/metal concentrate (10x) with 4.5 ml of the Peroxide buffer.
- Mix well.
- Add the 1x working solution to the tissue or blot until desired substrate development.
Note: The 1x solution is stable over many hours.
For best results, store the working solution at 2 to 8 °C when not using.
Storage conditions (working solution): 2 to 8 °C
For best results, store the working solution at 2 to 8 °C when not using.
