BCIP is a dye that can be used as a substrate in a fluorometric assay to detect the presence of effector proteins. It is also used in analytical chemistry to detect phosphate, and as a reagent in diagnostic tests for mucin gene expression. BCIP has been shown to have transcriptional regulatory effects on genes encoding for proteins involved in antibody production. BCIP has been shown to act as an effector protein, which influences the amount of mRNA produced by the gene encoding for tissue culture cells. BCIP can also be used as a model system to study the regulation of transcription in vitro.
A hybridization technique using BCIP with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II has been demonstrated and applied to analyze the mechanism of transcriptional control at the level of individual genes. The use of this technique allows for analysis at a single gene level and may allow for better understanding of transcriptional regulation.

Aldol® 515 palmitate is a high quality, non-toxic and water soluble chromogenic substrate for enzymes. It is used to detect the presence of lipase activity due to yielding a red color.

N-Acetyl-L-glutamine p-nitroanilide is a fluorogenic substrate that can be used in the diagnosis of bacterial infections. It is a ligand that can bind to enzymes involved in the production of bioluminescence, such as luciferase, and can be used for the detection of bacteria. It is also used for food testing, environmental testing, and diagnostics. N-Acetyl-L-glutamine p-nitroanilide has high purity and high quality, which makes it suitable for conjugation with other molecules.

6-Bromo-2-naphthyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside is a strong inhibitor of alpha-mannosidase. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which are both known to cause bacterial infections in humans. 6BNA inhibits the enzyme alpha-mannosidase, which hydrolyzes terminal α-(1,4)-linked mannose residues from oligosaccharides and glycoproteins. This drug has a high affinity for the active site of alpha-mannosidase and an IC50 value of 0.2 mM, making it an effective inhibitor.

Aldol® 515 L-proline amide is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of L-proline aminopeptidase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by L-proline aminopeptidase produced by microorganisms grown in liquid or solid media, yielding red-orange color. In addition, red fluorescence signals are generated when a fluorescence enhancer or a suitable matrix is present. Aldol® 515 L-proline amide is suitable for use under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
