- Extra Details:
- 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 (0.5%) is mainly used for assessing the viability of seeds and pollen; whereas TTC Staining Solution (1%) is usually employed to observe myocardial infarction and necrotic areas in brain tissue; allowing earlier detection (3–6 h ahead of electron microscopy and 24 h ahead of light microscopy) of early infarcted tissue in experimental animal models. Features of this product: 1. Fresh tissue can be stained immediately without fixation; embedding; or other pre-treatment. 2. Short staining time; generally 10–30 min. 3. The solution can be reused; 10 mL can stain about 20 samples.
