Product information "Bluo-Gal / 5-Bromo-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside"

5-Bromo-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranosid (Bluo-Gal) ist used as a substrat of β-Galactosidase. It is a chromogenic substrate suitable for identification of lacZ⁺ bacterial colonies. Bluo-Gal is designed to replace X-Gal in blue-white selection of recombinant bacterial colonies with the lac+ phenotype.

Principle
When Bluo-Gal is hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase, the resulting product will form a blue precipitate. Lac+ colonies grown in the presence of Bluo-Gal turn a deeper blue color more intense than X-Gal, allowing for easy differentiation between lac+ and lac- colonies.
