  • Greater sensitivity than conventional substrates
  • Consistent and reliable
  • Ideal for IHC/ICC/ISH and blots
  • Fluorescent
  • Heat Stable
  • Permanent mounting
  • No wait times for mixing and dissolving powders or tablets
  • Sufficient reagents to produce 200 ml of working solution
  • Excitation: 645-685 nm*
  • Emission: peaks at 823 and 855 nm*

Technical Information

This substrate can be used for developing blots or for in situ hybridization. At 20-30 minute development times, the sensitivity of this substrate is equivalent to the other alkaline phosphatase substrates. However, BCIP/NBT will continue to develop from several hours to overnight making it one of the most sensitive chromogenic substrates. This kit contains stock solutions in convenient dropper bottles.
