AquaSpark® Calibration Probe is used for:

Demonstration experiment susing only the probe and an aqueous solution or water;
Evaluation of the AquaSpark® maximum light emission;
Functional tests of luminometers, plate readers and cameras;
Comparison with other probes bearing an enzyme labile group in order to build concentration/response curves;
Validation and comparison between different AquaSpark® probes.

4-Nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, beta-Anomer is a chromogenic sugar that can be used as an indicator for the presence of 4-nitrophenol. It is a highly reactive compound that spontaneously reacts with nitrobenzene to form a dinitroaniline. This anomeric structure is easily oxidized by air and light to form the corresponding o-dinitroaniline. When this reaction occurs, this substance changes color from yellow to red.
