Description

Blue tetrazolium chloride is an analytical method that is used to measure the rate of microbial growth. It has been used to study the effects of radiation, and it has also been shown to be a useful tool for detecting the presence of bacteria in biological samples. Blue tetrazolium chloride can be used as a selective agent for dextran sulfate and caffeic acid, which are present in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, but not in squamous cells. This compound can also be used to detect the presence of antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E. The optimum concentration for this compound is 2-3 microliters per milliliter in 0.1N HCl solution at room temperature.
