Product Information

• Name: Naphthol As-Bi-Phosphate disodium
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Naphthol AS-BP is a diazonium salt that inhibits the enzyme activity of phosphatases. It is used to inhibit the growth of bacteria in culture media and histochemical staining. The n-dimethyl formamide (DMF) inhibits the enzyme activity of phoshatases by binding to the active site, which prevents the release of phosphate groups and results in a reversible inhibition. Naphthol AS-BP has an optimum pH level of 7.6, where it will be most effective against phosphatase enzymes. This chemical can be hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid at a rate of 10% per hour, so it should be stored at low temperatures and protected from light. Naphthol AS-BP binds to sarcoplasmic proteins and monoclonal antibodies, which may make it useful for detecting sarcoplasmic proteins or monoclonal antibodies on cells or tissues.
