Optimized dyeing conditions of immunoprotein with reactive dye Procion Blue MX-7RX.

For investigating the feasibility of using reactive dyes as an immunoassay marker, a dichlorine triazine dye, Procion Blue MX-7RX, was employed to stain the antibody against human serum albumin (anti-HSA). With the color intensity revealed in the immunochromatographic test strip as the objective variables, the optimal dyeing conditions were found as follows: pH 11.4, temperature 35.
