N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylbenzidine

Description:
N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is an organic compound commonly used as a chromogenic substrate in biochemical assays, particularly in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and colorimetric detection methods. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a central benzidine core with four methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atoms, enhancing its solubility and reactivity. TMB is a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid that exhibits a blue color upon oxidation, making it useful for visualizing the presence of enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and has moderate solubility in water. While TMB is generally considered safe for laboratory use, it is important to handle it with care due to potential health hazards, including skin and respiratory irritation. Additionally, TMB is sensitive to light and should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its stability. Overall, TMB is a valuable reagent in analytical chemistry and biochemistry for its ability to produce a measurable color change in the presence of specific enzymes.
