Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ TMB Solution (1X)
Description
TMB (3,3’,5,5’-Tetramethylbenzidine) is a substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP). During the enzymatic reaction the TMB substrate will result in a blue color that can be read on a spectrophotometer at 650nm. This kinetic reaction can be stopped using 1M phosphoric acid resulting in a color change to yellow that can be read at 450nm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No, we offer different TMB substrates for different applications.
We recommend the following TMB substrates for this particular application:
- eBioscience TMB Solution (1X) (Cat. No. 00-4201-56)
- (For higher sensitivity) 1-Step Ultra TMB-ELISA Substrate Solution (Cat. No. 34029)
TMB is a faster developing, stronger substrate that yields greater amplification/sensitivity/background. The use of an acid stop solution produces a yellow end product read at 450nm. Super AquaBlue is a slower developing blue/green substrate particularly useful for kinetic studies.
