Thermo Scientific™ X-Gluc

Description

• X-Gluc (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucuronic acid, cyclohexylammonium salt) is a substrate for beta-glucuronidase (GUS) which is encoded by gusA , a widely used reporter gene
• Glucuronidase cleaves X-Gluc to produce colorless glucuronic acid and an intense blue precipitate of chloro-bromoindigo ( see the scheme below)
• Glucuronidase cleaves X-Gluc to produce colorless glucuronic acid and an intense blue precipitate of chloro-bromoindigo ( see the scheme below)
• Recommended for: Detection of GUS expression in plant cells and tissues (1) Detection of infections caused by E.coli Detection of bacterial contamination in food and water samples Note: Preparation of a 0.1M stock solution in dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide is recommended.
