Application

SIGMAFAST 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine tablets has been used as a chromogen for visualization in immunohistochemistry of gonad tissue, thymus, dental chronic periapical lesions and gall bladder sections.
Developed for use in immunohistology and immunoblotting as a precipitating substrate for the localization of peroxidase activity. DAB is the immunohistology substrate of choice as it produces an intense brown-black stain which is resistant to alcohol. Slides stained with DAB may be dehydrated, mounted in resinous media, and stored for future reference. SIGMAFAST DAB Tablets require no additional buffers or steps to prepare an active substrate solution. Tablets are individually packaged in foil packets

Preparation Note

Each tablet set dissolved in 5 mL deionized water yields a ready-to-use buffered solution containing DAB and urea hydrogen peroxide.

    1. D4293, SIGMAFAST™ 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine tablets, can be used for WB on PVDF membranes, please see attached reference paper stating below: "The PVDF was then collected and rinsed 3 times for 5–10 min each wash with TBS. The blot was then developed appropriately with 3',3-Diaminobenzidine tablets for developing peroxidase (D4293 Sigma-Aldrich) and BCIP/NBT for alkaline phosphatase (B5655 Sigma-Aldrich) and the blot was imaged."Scientific Neurogenic marker expression in differentiating human adipose derived adult mesenchymal stem cells Neus Gomila Pelegri1,2, Bruce K.
