Aldol® 518 myo-inositol-1-phosphate is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of phosphatidyl-inositol specific phospholipase C activity (PI-PLC, EC 4.6.1.13). The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by PI-PLC or PI-PLC-positive microorganisms grown in liquid or solid media, yielding an intense red coloration. In combination with Aldol® 355 fluorescence enhancer, red fluorescence can also obtained. Aldol® 518 myo-inositol-1-phosphate is suitable for use in liquid and solid media, under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions.

4-Methylumbelliferyl 2-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-a-L-fucopyranosyl)-b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorescent substrate for β–galactosidase. It is used to detect the enzyme in biological samples and as a diagnostic agent. This substrate can be used to develop chemiluminescent, chromogenic, and fluorogenic substrates for use in diagnostics. 4MUF 2OBG can also be conjugated to various ligands for use in bioluminescence assays or as a marker in immunoassays.

Bacillus cereus is a rod-shaped β hemolytic bacterium commonly found in food and soil. Some strains can be associated with food intoxications, mainly from raw meat and poultry products. One example is the so called “fried rice syndrome”, that occurs when dishes containing cooked rice are left for several hours at room temperature. Typical symptoms of the infection include severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Some strains of Bacillus cereus on the contrary are not harmful at all and they are used as probiotics food additives in animal farming to reduce the presence of other pathogens like Salmonella in the cecum end intestine. Bacillus cereus expresses phosphatidyl-choline specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), encoded by the plc gene, which is regulated by PlcR. In addition, the expression of PlcR is dependent on the growth medium. Luc-B.cereus Na (L-8275) is a synthetic chemiluminescent substrate for the phosphatidyl-choline specific phospholipase C. The enzyme cleaves off phosphocholine from L-8275, leading to the release of D-Luc, and consequent strong light emission B. cereus culture exhibited strong luminescence, while RLU values were much lower for samples with B. thuringiensis.

Benzocaine fructoside is a synthetic carbohydrate that is used as a local anesthetic. It is synthesized from benzocaine to produce a glycosylated form of the drug. This compound has been modified to include fluorine atoms, and it has been methylated with primary amines. The modification of this compound has produced a high-purity product that can be used for click chemistry.

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4,6-O-benzylidene-b-D-glucopyranoside is a fluorescent substrate for beta amylase and other glycosidases. It has been used as a fluorogenic substrate for food testing and as a chromogenic substrate for environmental testing. 4NPB has also been used in diagnostic applications such as enzyme substrates, ligands, and chemiluminescent substrates. This product is of high purity and quality with a conjugate that can be used in biotechnology applications.
