10-Acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (N-Acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine), which has been marketed under the name Amplex® Red, is regarded as the best fluorogenic substrate for peroxidase because it is highly specific and stable. The substrate itself is nearly colorless and nonfluorescent until it is oxidized by H₂O₂ in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to become the highly red fluorescent resorufin. High purity resorufin (10062) is also available from Biotium to be used as a standard.
