Product Information

• Name: 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chloro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-CHB) is a reactive compound that can be used for the detection of bacteria. 4-CHB reacts with peroxyl radicals in solution to form a chlorobenzoic acid derivative, which emits light when excited by radiation. 4-CHB is also capable of dehalogenating chlorobenzene, and can be used as a bioluminescent probe for the detection of bacteria. The reactions are efficient at low concentrations and are detectable with an ultraviolet or visible spectrophotometer.
