NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights the significant contribution of Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride (CAS 298-83-9) to the effectiveness of Western Blotting (WB) assays. In the complex workflow of WB, accurate and sensitive protein detection is paramount, and Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride plays a key role as a chromogenic substrate.

Western blotting involves separating proteins by size, transferring them to a membrane, and then probing them with specific antibodies. Often, these antibodies are conjugated to enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase. When Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride is introduced to the blot, the conjugated enzyme catalyzes its reduction, leading to the formation of an insoluble colored precipitate directly at the location of the target protein band. This process allows for the visual identification and analysis of specific proteins of interest.

The intense blue color produced by Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride provides excellent contrast against the membrane background, facilitating clear visualization and quantification of protein expression levels. This makes it particularly useful for detecting enzymes that are themselves the target of study, or for visualizing the presence of proteins that are indirectly detected via an enzyme-linked secondary antibody. Its role in detecting dehydrogenase activity can be directly translated to identifying proteins that exhibit such activity.
