Product Data Sheet
Tetrazolium Red
Catalog No. B21485
Tetrazolium Red (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride; TTC) is a biochemical assay reagent that serves as a colorimetric indicator of mitochondrial enzyme activity. Upon reduction by these enzymes, it transforms from a colorless compound to a deep red, insoluble formazan derivative, primarily in living cells. This property allows for effective differentiation between viable and infarcted tissue, making Tetrazolium Red valuable for assessing cell viability in brain and heart tissue following ischemic injury. Its absorption peak is at 570 nm, facilitating quantitative analysis in various experimental applications.
