Aldol® 495 beta-D-galactopyranoside, Biosynth Patent: EP 2427431 and US 8940909

CAS: 1254798-26-9

Aldol® 495 beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of beta-galactosidase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by lactose-utilizing bacteria in liquid or solid media, yielding orange color as well as green fluorescence if a fluorescence enhancer or a suitable matrix are present. Aldol® 495 beta-D-galactopyranoside can also be used in beta-gal reporter gene assays or for identification of beta-gal positive transformants on agar plates. Aldol® 495 beta-D-galactopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
