2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP; DPIP) sodium hydrate is a redox chromogenic indicator with a redox potential of +217 mV relative to SHE, and it acts as a substrate for reduction reactions. During the metabolic process of nutrient consumption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate is reduced from dark blue to colorless, resulting in a decrease in absorbance. 2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate is widely used in spectrophotometric biochemical oxygen demand determination and preclinical colorimetric toxicity analysis for heavy metal ion detection based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Biological Activity
Incubation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with 2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate (75 μM; 10 min) for 10 min at pH 6.0-7.0 yields the maximum spectrophotometric BOD response, and a stable response is observable over the pH range of 7.0 to 9.0[1].
2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate (750 μM; 10 min) acts as a redox chromogenic indicator for the metabolic activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When incubated at 30 °C for 10 min, its absorbance decreases linearly with glucose concentrations ranging from 0 to 4.5 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999[2].
2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium hydrate (750 μM; 10 min) enables the detection of metabolic inhibition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Cu2+ and Mn2+ via the reduction of colorimetric response, whereas most coexisting inorganic ions, anionic surfactants and other tested toxicants exert minimal interference with this assay under the condition of incubation at 30 °C for 10 min[2].
