Does Repeated Freeze-thaw Cycles Affect The Use Of MADB 209518-16-1 Solution?

In the field of biochemical analysis, N, N-di (4-sulfobutyl) -3,5-dimethylaniline sodium salt (MADB) is a novel Trinder's reagent widely used for quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide, as well as detection of various biomarkers such as blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc., due to its high sensitivity, good water solubility, excellent stability, and strong anti-interference ability. However, in practical applications, the storage conditions of reagents, especially the impact of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on their performance, have always been a focus of attention for researchers.

1, Basic characteristics and applications of MADB

MADB, The chemical formula is C16H25NNa2O6S2, with a molecular weight of 437.48234, and it is a white high-purity powder. It exhibits excellent solubility and stability in aqueous solutions and is an ideal reagent for enzymatic photometric determination of hydrogen peroxide. Under the action of hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase, MADB can undergo coupling reactions with oxidants such as 4-aminoantipyrine or 3-methylbenzothiazole sulfone hydrazone, producing highly stable purple or blue dyes. The intensity of this color reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, thereby achieving quantitative analysis of the target substance.

2, The effect of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on the properties of MADB solution

Repeated freeze-thaw refers to the process of storing a solution in a low-temperature frozen state, and then thawing it to room temperature or working temperature when needed. This process may have multiple negative impacts on the performance of MADB solution.

2.1 Molecular Structure Destruction

During repeated freeze-thaw cycles, MADB molecules may be affected by physical stress, leading to changes in molecular structure such as chemical bond breakage and conformational alterations. These changes will directly affect the color development performance of MADB, reducing its efficiency and stability in coupling reactions with oxidants, thereby affecting the accuracy of detection results.

2.2 Solution stratification and precipitation

During the freeze-thaw process, solvents and solutes in the solution may undergo stratification due to temperature changes, resulting in uneven concentration of MADB and even precipitation. This not only wastes reagents, but also affects the accuracy of detection results due to uneven concentration. The formation of sediment may also block the pipeline of the instrument, affecting its normal operation.

2.3 Increased risk of microbial contamination

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can disrupt the sterile state of the solution and provide conditions for microbial growth. Once the solution is contaminated, it not only affects its effectiveness but may also contaminate the experimental environment and pose a threat to the health of the experimenters.

2.4 Activity loss

MADB, as an active reagent, its activity is crucial for the accuracy of detection results. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles may lead to a decrease in MADB activity, thereby affecting the sensitivity of detection results. The loss of activity means that more reagents are needed to achieve the expected color development effect, which not only increases experimental costs but may also lead to distorted experimental results due to excessive use of reagents.
