INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

For Tissues or Cells After incubation with a peroxidase (HRP) detection system, rinse well. Incubate with the substrate working solution at room temperature for 2-10 minutes. Optimal development times should be determined by the investigator. Wash for 5 minutes in water.

NOTES
  • We recommend using glass-distilled water in the preparation of substrate buffer. Deionized water may con-tain inhibitors of the peroxidase reaction. Solutions containing sodium azide or other inhibitors of peroxidase activity should not be used in diluting the peroxidase substrate.
  • DAB are carcinogens. Appropriate care should be exercised when using these reagents including gloves, eye protection, lab coats, and good laboratory procedures.
