CAS 1871-22-3: Blue tetrazolium

Description:Blue tetrazolium, also known as 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), is a chemical compound commonly used in biological and biochemical applications, particularly in cell viability assays. It is a redox indicator that undergoes a color change upon reduction, converting from a yellow soluble form to a red insoluble formazan product in the presence of viable cells. This property makes it useful for assessing metabolic activity in living organisms, as only metabolically active cells can reduce the tetrazolium salt. Blue tetrazolium is typically used in microbiology, histology, and various research applications to evaluate cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. The compound is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be handled with care, as it can be toxic in certain concentrations. Its solubility in water and organic solvents allows for versatile applications in different experimental setups. Overall, blue tetrazolium serves as a valuable tool in the study of cellular processes and the assessment of cell health.
