The 1-Step™ TMB ELISA Substrate Solutions by Thermo Scientific™ are ready-to-use, non-carcinogenic substrates for detecting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) activity in ELISA assays. These substrates yield a blue color upon oxidation by HRP, which shifts to yellow upon the addition of a stop solution (sulfuric or phosphoric acid).
Key Features:
- Versatile Sensitivities:
- Available in three formulations:
- 1-Step Slow TMB: Intermediate sensitivity.
- 1-Step Turbo TMB: High sensitivity, comparable to OPD at ~1 mg/mL.
- 1-Step Ultra TMB-ELISA: Highest sensitivity with a signal-to-noise ratio in the picogram range.
- Available in three formulations:
- Colorimetric Detection:
- Initial blue color (Amax = 370 nm and 652 nm).
- Converts to yellow upon stopping the reaction (Amax = 450 nm).
- Enhanced Performance:
- Faster oxidation than other HRP substrates.
- Free of DMF (dimethylformamide) or DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
- User-Friendly:
- Ready-to-use with no additional preparation or filtering.
- Suitable for kinetic and endpoint ELISA assays.
- Non-Carcinogenic:
- Safer for laboratory use compared to traditional HRP substrates.
