Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-xylopyranoside
• Synonyms: X-a-D-Xyloside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-xylopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alpha-xylosidase. After cleavage, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl is released, resulting in a blue to blue-green color change in bacterial colonies or media. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-xylopyranoside is used in bacterial xylan metabolism studies and plant cell wall degradation assays.
