This substrate is widely used in biochemical assays for detecting alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Key applications include:
When combined with Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT), it produces an insoluble blue precipitate, enabling precise localization of enzymatic activity.
Note: Protect from light during all steps to prevent photodegradation.
Researchers successfully identified GFP-tagged proteins by combining this substrate with ALP-conjugated secondary antibodies. Visible blue bands developed within 8 minutes at 22°C, demonstrating high sensitivity with 0.1 ng detectable protein.
In murine kidney studies, a 15-minute incubation at 37°C revealed precise tubular ALP distribution. The chromogen showed 40% higher resolution compared to alternative substrates in parallel tests.
