NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a premier supplier of high-purity chemicals essential for advanced scientific and medical applications. Among our extensive catalog, 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium Chloride (TTC) holds particular significance due to its crucial role in medical diagnostics, especially in pathology. This compound functions as a redox indicator, enabling the visual differentiation of metabolically active and inactive tissues, which is vital for identifying pathological conditions.

The primary application of TTC in medical diagnostics involves its use in identifying post-mortem myocardial infarctions. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, results in cell death due to lack of oxygen. In living cardiac muscle cells, enzymes like lactate dehydrogenase are highly active, facilitating cellular respiration. When TTC is introduced to cardiac tissue, these active enzymes reduce the compound to a red formazan. This results in the healthy, viable heart muscle staining a deep red. Conversely, areas of infarction, where cells are necrotic and enzyme activity is diminished, will not reduce TTC and will therefore remain unstained or appear pale. This stark visual contrast makes TTC an invaluable tool for pathologists and forensic experts.

The reliability of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride in these sensitive diagnostic procedures is directly linked to its purity. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our TTC is supplied at a high purity of 99%, guaranteeing consistent and accurate results. This high level of quality is essential when the stakes are as high as identifying the extent of tissue damage in diagnostic contexts. When you buy chemical products for medical research or diagnostic purposes, sourcing from a trusted supplier like us is paramount.

Beyond its use in post-mortem analysis, TTC's ability to indicate cellular respiration makes it a valuable tool in various research settings investigating cellular health and disease. Studies on drug efficacy, metabolic disorders, and tissue engineering often rely on visual indicators of cell viability. The straightforward nature of the TTC assay—often involving simple incubation and visual inspection—makes it an accessible yet powerful method for researchers to assess the impact of experimental conditions on cellular function.
