- 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 (4%) is routinely used for fresh cardiac and brain tissues obtained at autopsy and for early infarct visualization in experimental animal models; it can also be employed to determine seed and pollen viability. TTC produces a red formazan upon reaction with dehydrogenases in viable tissue; allowing assessment of tissue or seed viability based on staining location and intensity.
