Tetrazolium (chloride)

TTC is a redox indicator used to detect cellular respiration. It is primarily reduced by Complex I in mitochondria and, under anaerobic conditions, is completely reduced to an insoluble red 1,3,5-triphenylformazan. TTC assays are typically used as a mitochondrial redox potential indicator for cell death.Formal Name: 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium, monochloride. CAS Number: 298-96-4.
