Produktinformation

• Name: 5-Bromo-3-indoxyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Chromogenic substrate for beta-D-galactosidase yielding a lapis colored precipitate. 5-Bromo-3-indoxyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside can be used in conjunction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside as an alternative to 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (X-gal), producing a darker blue color for detection of beta-galactosidase activity in bacterial colonies in a colorimetric assay to detect recombinants (white) from non-recombinants (blue). 5-Bromo-3-indoxyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside is also used in histochemistry to demonstrate beta-galactosidase activity in tissues.
