Specifications

Similar to BCIP/NBT Enhanced but is more sensitive and produces a more intense purple color. This is extremely useful in double antibody staining procedures when used with BCIP/INT where phosphatase labeled antibodies are preferred. BCIP/TNBT is supplied in a Tris HCl buffer.
Catalog #B0805
When the phosphate group of BCIP is hydrolyzed by alkaline phosphatase (AP) the resulting indolyl derivative adds to itself forming an insoluble-blue halogenated indigo. The reaction is slow and the indigo derivative is slightly soluble in aqueous alkaline buffer solutions. If TNBT is present in the system, the reaction proceeds in a different fashion. Reducing components formed during phosphate hydrolysis react rapidly with TNBT converting it to the very insoluble dark-purple TNBT formazan.
