DAB, a derivative of benzene, is an organic compound, which is both chemically and thermodynamically stable, used in the staining of nucleic acids and proteins, most commonly for immunohistochemical procedures. Although it is water soluble in its unoxidized form, it forms a water-insoluble brown precipitate when oxidized. DAB is oxidized in the presence
