DAB Substrate (High Contrast)
DAB Substrate (High Contrast)

DAB Substrate (High Contrast)

This product has been developed for applications that require high contrast between the chromogen and Hematoxylin counterstain. The resulting stain is a darker brown than standard DAB and more sensitive. ScyTek recommends using Hematoxyling for Automation (catalog # HAQ500) for optimal contrast. 3,3'Diaminobenzidine (DAB) is a widely used chromogen for immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting. When in the presence of peroxidase enzyme, DAB produces a brown precipitate that is insoluble in alcohol. This product is available in a two-component form which consists of a liquid, refrigerator stable DAB Chromogen and DAB Substrate (High Contrast). The standard working dilution is 50ul (0.9mg) of DAB Chromogen per 1ml of DAB Substrate (High Contrast), although the ratio can be adjusted as desired. The use of liquid components reduces some risks associated with handling powders, ie. dust inhalation, and eliminates waste which often results from using tablets that require a predetermined final volume. Once the two components are combined, the reagent can be used for up to six hours, ideal for automated stainers.
