Blue Tetrazolium (Tetrazolium blue) is a blue dye used for microbial research. It can be reduced into blue tetrazolium formazan (BTF). Blue Tetrazolium can be used to determine the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in yeast strains, where it is reduced as a substrate. DMSO can be used to extract BTF from cells, and the absorption spectrum of BTF can be tested. BTF exhibits a wide wavelength range of 480-600 nm with a maximal absorbance at 540 nm. Blue Tetrazolium combines with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH).
