STABLE COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING CHROMOGENIC COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

Compositions, assays, methods, and kits are disclosed for use in applications that utilize oxidation of a chromogenic electron donor such as diaminobenzidine (DAB) to generate a signal. Applications include, but are not limited to, immunohistochemistry, chromogenic in situ hybridization, Western blots, Northern blots, Southern blots, ELISA assays, and microarray detection. The compositions, assays, methods, and kits disclosed herein make use of a novel, stabilized formulation of DAB and a novel, stabilized formulation of hydrogen peroxide.
