Aldol 495 acetate is a chromogenic substrate that contains the chemical compound Aldol. It is used in food testing, diagnostics, and environmental testing. Aldol 495 acetate can be used as a ligand to detect the presence of enzymes or bacteria in culture media and diagnostics. This product has been shown to have a high purity and quality.

Aldol 495 is a chemiluminescent substrate for the detection of aldehyde reductase (ALR) activity. It is an acetate ester that reacts with ALR to form an aldehyde product, which then reacts with luminol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to produce light. Aldol 495 is used in the diagnosis of ALR deficiency, which can cause acute intermittent porphyria and other diseases. Aldol 495 has been shown to be non-toxic and non-mutagenic.
