Tetrazolium Salt (2,3,5, Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride) (TTC)

Product Description

Tetrazolium Salt (2,3,5-Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride) (Code: 06222), commonly known as TTC, is a high-purity, white to off-white crystalline powder widely used as a redox indicator and biochemical reagent. TTC is a water-insoluble tetrazolium compound that is reduced by active dehydrogenase enzymes in living tissues to form formazan, a red-colored compound, making it valuable for assessing cell viability, metabolic activity, and microbial growth.

In laboratories, TTC is widely applied in biochemistry, microbiology, plant physiology, and enzyme assays. It serves as a key reagent in viability testing, respiration studies, and tissue staining, offering precise and reproducible colorimetric results.
