5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside

Ref. 3D-EB170531

Product Information

• Name: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-rhamnoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alpha-L-rhamnosidase. 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-L-rhamnoside is used in bacterial rhamnose metabolism studies (e.g. E. coli).
