Product Information

• Name: 1-Naphthyl b-D-glucuronide sodium salt
• Synonyms: 1-Nap-b-D-GlcA.Na
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Naphthyl b-D-glucuronide sodium salt is a chromogenic substrate commonly used to assay the activity of beta-glucuronidase enzymes. It is hydrolyzed by beta-glucuronidase to yield a yellow-colored product, 1-naphthol, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically. This substrate is widely used in diagnostic tests for detection of beta-glucuronidase activity, particularly in clinical microbiology for the identification of E. coli and other enteric bacteria. With its sodium salt form, it boasts increased solubility in aqueous solutions, ensuring seamless integration into various experimental settings.
