Diammonium 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate), sau da yawa ake magana a kai da ABTS, wani abu ne da ake amfani da shi na chromogenic da aka saba amfani da shi a cikin ƙididdigar ƙwayoyin cuta, musamman a fagen ilimin enzymology.Wani fili ne na roba wanda ake amfani dashi don auna ayyukan enzymes daban-daban, ciki har da peroxidases da oxidases.
ABTS ba shi da launi a cikin nau'in oxidized amma ya juya blue-kore lokacin da oxidized ta hanyar enzyme a gaban hydrogen peroxide ko oxygen oxygen.Wannan canjin launi yana faruwa ne saboda samuwar radical cation, wanda ke ɗaukar haske a cikin bakan da ake gani.
Halin da ke tsakanin ABTS da enzyme yana samar da samfur mai launi wanda za'a iya auna ta hanyar hoto.Ƙarfin launi yana daidai da aikin enzymatic kai tsaye, yana ba masu bincike damar kimanta kinetics na enzyme ƙididdiga, hanawa enzyme, ko hulɗar enzyme-substrate.
ABTS yana da fa'idodi da yawa na aikace-aikace a fannoni daban-daban, gami da bincike na asibiti, binciken magunguna, da kimiyyar abinci.Yana da matukar kulawa kuma yana ba da kewayon ƙarfi mai faɗi, yana mai da shi mashahurin zaɓi don ƙididdigar ƙwayoyin halitta da yawa.
