Nitro blue tetrazolium salt has been widely used for dehydrogenase detection on agarose gels due to its extremely low water solubility. Nitro-TB is dissolved by hot water or hot methanol. Other organic solvents such as acetone and ether cannot solubilize Nitro-TB. Nitro-TB is easily reduced by dehydrogenase to purple formazan dye aggregates.
