Diphenylchlorophenyltetrazoliumchloride

Description:

Diphenylchlorophenyltetrazolium chloride, commonly referred to as DCPIP, is a synthetic chemical compound characterized by its use as a redox indicator in various biochemical assays. It is a tetrazolium salt that undergoes reduction to form a colored formazan product, making it useful for assessing cellular metabolic activity. DCPIP is typically soluble in water and exhibits a distinctive blue color in its oxidized form, which changes to a colorless or pale yellow solution upon reduction. This property makes it valuable in microbiological and enzymatic studies, particularly in determining the viability of cells and the activity of dehydrogenase enzymes. The compound is also utilized in various laboratory applications, including spectrophotometric assays. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling DCPIP, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper laboratory protocols and personal protective equipment are recommended to mitigate exposure.
