DAB Cleaner Kit removes diaminobenzidine (DAB) stains and precipitate from surfaces. Contamination with DAB residue can be a problem that may affect staining quality or automated immunohistochemistry stainers. Bleach will only reduce the color intensity of DAB stains, whereas, DAB Cleaner Kit removes the residual DAB stain that may clog instrument probes and tubing. This kit can also be used to clean glassware and other labware used in the lab that has been exposed to DAB and has retained DAB stains even after normal cleaning. It chemically reacts with DAB to inactivate the carcinogenic properties.
