Ref. 3D-EB161470

Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-galactofuranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-galactofuranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of beta-D-galactofuranosidase. 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 b-D-galactofuranoside is used in assays for detecting bacterial pathogens (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
