TTC Staining Kit,1%

Description

EnkiLife provide TTC Staining Kit,1%. 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) has a molecular weight of 334.80, molecular formula C19H15ClN4, and CAS number 298-96-4. TTC is a lipophilic, light-sensitive compound originally used to assess seed viability and later applied to visualize ischemic infarction in mammalian tissues. TTC acts as a proton acceptor for the pyridine-nucleotide-linked enzyme system of the respiratory chain. In normal tissue it is reduced by respiratory enzymes to a red product, whereas ischemic tissue, in which respiratory enzyme activity is decreased, remains pale and unchanged. Thus TTC staining provides a macroscopic method for evaluating dehydrogenase activity in tissues.EnkiLife TTC Staining Solution (1%) permits observation of myocardial infarction and necrotic areas in brain tissue 3–6 h earlier than electron microscopy and 24 h earlier than light microscopy. It is mainly used for fresh heart and brain tissue in autopsy and for staining early infarcted tissue in experimental animal models; it can also be used to assess seed and pollen viability. Product features: 1. Fresh tissue can be stained immediately without fixation, embedding, or other pre-treatment. 2. Short staining time, generally 20–30 min. 3. The solution can be reused; 10 mL can stain about 20 samples.Application: TTC stain
