Triphenyltetrazoliumiodide

Description:
Triphenyltetrazolium iodide (TTC) is a chemical compound commonly used as a redox indicator in various biochemical assays. It is characterized by its vibrant red color, which results from the reduction of the tetrazolium ring to form formazan, a colored product. This transformation occurs in the presence of viable cells, making TTC a useful tool for assessing cell viability and metabolic activity. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, which allows for versatile applications in laboratory settings. TTC is often employed in microbiology and cell biology to evaluate the growth and health of microorganisms and cells. Additionally, its ability to indicate metabolic activity makes it valuable in studies related to cellular respiration and enzymatic activity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling TTC, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used. Overall, Triphenyltetrazolium iodide is a significant reagent in scientific research, particularly in the fields of microbiology and biochemistry.
