Product Information

• Name: Luc-coliforms Na
• Synonyms: D-Luciferin-6-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside, sodium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Luc-coliforms Na is a fluorogenic substrate that is used in the diagnosis of bacterial contamination. It is a conjugate of the enzyme luciferase and the substrate coelenterazine, which are combined in a buffer solution. Luc-coliforms Na is used to detect bacteria by adding it to a culture broth or other growth media. The bacteria will emit light as they break down the luc-coliforms Na and produce ATP, which can then be measured with an appropriate detector. Luc-coliforms Na can also be used as a stain for gram-negative rods, such as coliforms, e.g., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis.
