X-Glu, molecular biology grade 50 mg - M3205.0050

Package Size: 50 mg Chromogenic substrate for b-glucoronidase. The substance is in use since 1960 in plant tissue sections. Because of the localised colour which X-gluc produces upon reduction, it is extremely useful inidentifying gene presence within most cell types. Recent applications of this product include its use in rapid detection of GUS (E.coli b-glucoronidase) gene fusion marker in plants. X-gluc has also been reported applications in detection of E.coli in foood samples such as meat, dairy products and shelfish.


Application: Used for detection b-glucoronidase in different tissue samples and of E.coli in food samples.
