• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(2-Propynyloxy)naphthalene is a synthetic chemical substance that is used as a fluorescent probe for the detection and identification of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. The chemical reacts with the enzyme dehydrogenase to produce light in the near-ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This reaction can be seen when looking at a sample under a microscope or by using techniques such as fluorescence microscopy. 2-(2-Propynyloxy)naphthalene has been shown to be potent fungicidal and antibacterial against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It also has been found to be safe for use in humans, animals, plants, and foodstuffs.
