Product Information

• Name: Nitrocefin (>90%)
• Synonyms: (6R,7R)-3-[(1E)-2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethenyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienylacetyl)amino]-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic Acid, [6R-[3(E),6α,7β]]-3-[2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethenyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienylacetyl)amino]-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic Acid
• Brand: TRC
• Description: Stability Hygroscopic, Unstable in SolutionApplications Nitrocefin is a chromogenic β-lactamase substrate that undergoes colour change from yellow to red as the amide bond in the β-Lactam ring is hydrolyzed by β-lactamase. Nitrocefin undergoes colour changes induced by lactamases produced by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Several studies have utilized the colour changing properties of Nitrocefin for the detection of β-lactamase activity from bacterial cell extracts by isoelectric focusing and spectroscopy. Nitrocefin has also been used in studies involving β-lactamase resistant antibiotics. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the packageReferences Yang, H., et al.: Biochem., 51, 3839 (2012); El, Z., et al.: J. Pure. Applied.
