2,3,5-Triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride, 10 g

2,3,5-Triphenyl-2H-Tetrazolium Chloride Application Notes 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride is used to differentiate between metabolically active and inactive tissues. The white compound is enzymatically reduced to red TPF (1,3,5-triphenylformazan) in living tissues due to the activity of various dehydrogenases (enzymes important in oxidation of organic compounds and thus cellular metabolism), while it remains as white TTC in areas of necrosis since these enzymes have been either denatured or degraded.
