Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl thymidine-3'-phosphate, cyclohexylammonium salt
• Synonyms: X-thymidine-3’-phosphate cyclohexylammonium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl thymidine (BCIT) is a chromogenic substrate that reacts with the enzyme β-galactosidase, which cleaves the BCIT to form a bromochloroindoxyl (BCI) and an indoxyl phosphate. The BCI is then detected by chemiluminescence or fluorescence. This product is used in food testing, diagnostics, environmental testing, and staining. It has been shown to be a good substrate for β-galactosidase from different sources such as calf thymus, bacteria, fungi, and plants.
