Substrats chromogènes

<p>Chromogenic substrate for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) yielding blue precipitate upon cleavage. Used for identification of beta-glucuronidase. X-beta-D-glucuronide has been reported as chromogenic substrate in a number of chromogenic E. coli/ coliform culture media. About 95% of common E. coli possess beta-D-glucuronidase activity. Such chromogenic culture media are used for detection and enumeration of E. coli in food samples such as meat, dairy products and shellfish and have clinical applications in the assessment of urinary infections. It has gained international acceptance as highly accurate test for the presence of E. coli in drinking water samples. It is also used for the detection of the expression of GUS (E. coli beta-glucuronidase) gene fusion marker constructs in plants. The sodium salt has advantages over the cyclohexylammonium salt as being non-electrostatic and possessing a naturally-occurring cation.</p>

<p>5-Iodo-3-indolyl b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used for beta-galactosidase. It is incorporated into media or detection kits for rapid and direct identification of microorganisms.</p>

<p>5-Amino-3-indoxyl-b-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for the enzyme galactosidase. 5-Amino-3-indoxyl-b-D-galactopyranoside is used in diagnostic tests to identify the presence of lactose intolerance. It can also be used to detect traces of blood in food, water, and other substances. This product has a high purity that makes it suitable for conjugation applications.</p>

<p>Espresso-Gal (Espresso-beta-D-galactopyranoside) is a chromogenic indicator for beta-galactosidase activity. The colorless product is cleaved by lactose-utilizing bacteria in liquid media or on agar plates and yields an espresso brown colored precipitate. Espresso-Gal can also be used as detecting agent for beta-galactosidase activity in reporter gene assays or for identification of positive transformants on agar plates when using the α-complementation approach.

<p>Chromogenic substrate for alpha-glucosidase</p>

<p>Aldol® 518 alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of alpha-D-glucosidase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by alpha-D-glucosidase, generating red fluorescent signal and in some conditions, an orange colour in the visible spectrum can get formed, staining bacterial colonies in faint orange coloration. Aldol® 518 alpha-D-glucopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.</p>

<p>5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide cyclohexylammonium salt is a magenta enzyme substrate commonly used in biochemical assays. This compound is a derivative of indole, containing bromine and chlorine atoms at positions 5 and 6, respectively. The glucuronide moiety is attached to the indolyl ring, and the cyclohexylammonium cation serves as a counterion to balance the charge. This substrate is often utilized in the detection and quantification of β-glucuronidase activity, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of glucuronides. Upon cleavage by β-glucuronidase, the substrate produces a magenta-colored product, allowing for easy visualization and measurement of enzyme activity.</p>

<p>Aldol® 467 N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved in the presence of beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase yielding development of a yellow product. In addition, green fluorescence is generated when a suitable matrix or Aldol® 355 fluorescence enhancer is present. Aldol® 467 N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide amide can be used in enzymatic assays or in live bacterial cultures. Aldol® 467 N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide is suitable for use in liquid and solid media, under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions.</p>

<p>5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl-a-D-xylopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that can be used in food testing and environmental testing. This product is a conjugate of the xylosidase enzyme (EC 3.2.1.37) with 5-bromo-4-chloroindoxyl, which has been shown to have a high affinity for the enzyme's active site and enzymatic activity. The purity of this product is &gt; 95% and the CAS number is 68618-41-5.</p>

<p>N-Benzoyl-Val-Gly-Arg p-nitroanilide hydrochloride is a fluorogenic substrate that can be used for the detection of β-glucuronidase. It has been shown to have high purity and quality, which makes it an excellent choice for use in food testing and staining.</p>

<p>Aldol® 455 is a substrate for the enzyme beta-galactosidase. It is used in food testing, staining, and environmental testing. Aldol® 455 has been shown to be a good substrate for fluorogenic and chromogenic substrates. It can be conjugated with an antibody or other ligand for use in immunoassays. Aldol® 455 is of high purity and high quality, making it suitable for use in diagnostics and as an enzyme substrate. This product can also be used as a culture media additive.</p>

<p>3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole is a peroxidase substrate suitable for use in immunoblotting and immunohistochemical staining procedures. This substrate produces an insoluble end product that is red in color and can be observed visually.</p>
