6-Chloro-3-indoxyl caprylate is a high quality, enzyme substrate, chromogenic substrate, bioluminescence, chemiluminescence ligand, staining and diagnostics reagent. It has CAS No. 159954-35-5 and is used in food testing, culture media and environmental testing. 6-Chloro-3-indoxyl caprylate is also a fluorogenic substrate that is used for high purity applications such as conjugation with other molecules.

5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl α-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate that yields a magenta-colored product after cleavage. The chromophore 5-bromo-6-chloro-indoxyl is released, generating the observable color. It is used in Pompe disease diagnostics, a glycogen storage disorder, that measures the deffiency of alpha-glucosidase (GAA) that could lead to the accumulation of glycogen in lysosomes.

6-Chloro-3-indolyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for N-acetyl-beta-galactosaminidase. It produces a salmon-pink color after enzymatic cleavage.

Chitin azure is a chromogenic substrate for chitinases. It is one of the few specific substrates for this enzyme that produces chito-oligosaccharides from chitin.

Aldol® 484 alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate for ?-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.20, ?-1,4-glucosidase, also known as maltase). The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by bacteria producing this enzyme in liquid or solid media, yielding orange color. Green fluorescence is also generated if a suitable matrix is present such as: cellulose acetate filters, polypropylene tubes or microplates and polyethylene vials. Aldol® 484 alpha-D-glucopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Chromogenic substrate used to measure phospholipase C (PLC) activity

6-Bromo-2-naphthyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity. When cleaved by the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, it releases 6-bromo-2-naphthol, which can be coupled with diazonium salts (for example 4'-amino-2,3'-dimethylazobenzene, also known as Fast Garnet GBC) to form a colored precipitate. 6-Bromo-2-naphthyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside is used in biochemical assays, histochemistry, and diagnostic tests for conditions like lysosomal storage disorders (e.g. Pompe disease) and carbohydrate metabolism studies.

Inorganic phosphate targeted colorimetric probe

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-fucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used is for the enzyme beta-fucosidase.

3,3'-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) is an organic compound derived from benzidine. DAB is water-soluble as the tetrahydrochloride salt and is used in immunohistochemical staining of nucleic acids and proteins. Within research in Alzheimer's disease, Aβ protein amyloid plaques are targeted by a primary antibody, and subsequently by a secondary antibody, which is conjugated with a peroxidase enzyme. This will bind DAB as a substrate and oxidize it, producing an easily observable brown colour. 3,3’-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride hydrate is also available as the tetrahydrochloride salt and as the free base.
