| A next generation tetrazolium reagent that serves as a sensitive chromogenic indicator for NADH. It is reduced by NADH at neutral pHs in the presence of 1-methoxy PMS to produce the corresponding formazan dye that absorbs at 460nM. Useful in cell proliferation assays as a cell viability indicator. | | | Catalog # | 022892-01 | | Sequence | 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,monosodium salt | | Molecular Weight | ~600.47 | | Solubility | H2O (~100mM) | | Storage and Stability | Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
