Introduction: Tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) is a chromogenic substrate used in staining procedures in immunohistochemistry as well as being a visualising reagent used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). It is a white solid that forms a pale blue-green liquid in solution with ethyl acetate. Tetramethylbenzidine is degraded by sunlight and by fluorescent lights. Itis a soluble chromogen substrate for horseradish peroxidase detection systems. Tetramethylbenzidine is recommended for ELISA procedures. View more+
