Substance data and safety information of Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB 54827-17-7)

2014-08-06 来源:亚科官网
 
First, the substance data
English name: 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine
Alias: TMB
Molecular formula: C16H20N2
Molecular weight: 240.34
Structure:
 
Exterior:
 
Melting point: 168-171 °C (lit.)
Storage temperature: 2-8 ° C
Uses: This product is a non-carcinogenic substitute of benzidine (negative Ames test), suitable as a peroxidase substrate for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The substrate produces a soluble light blue final product which can be read spectrophotometrically at 370 or 620-650 nm. The TMB reaction (turns yellow) can be terminated with 2M H2SO4 and the data read at 450nm. A sensitive specific reagent for detecting blood, measuring hemoglobin and peroxidase.

1Use of tetramethylbenzidine in plasma hemoglobin assay.

 

J C Standefer and D Vanderjagt
Clinical Chemistry, 23(4), 749-751 (1977)

Plasma hemoglobin can be assayed by substituting 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine for benzidine (a carcinogen) as the chromogenic reducing substance. Sensitivity, precision, and accuracy compare well with methods in which benzidine is used. Plasma inh.

R C Lijana and M C Williams
Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 94(2), 266-276 (1979)

Plasma hemoglobin is routinely measured by some modification of the benzidine-hydrogen peroxide method, particularly at low concentrations. Because benzidine is carcinogenic, and thus impractical for clinical use under current restrictions, the iden..
