6-Bromo-2-naphthyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used for the detection of chitinase activity. Upon hydrolysis by chitinase, it releases a yellow-brown color, which is easily detected by spectrophotometry. This substrate has been used to study chitinases in various organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and insects. It can also be used to quantitate chitinase activity in various biological samples.

2-Nitrophenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that can be used to detect β-galactosidase activity. This specific substrate is one of the most commonly used substrates for detecting β-galactosidase activity in diagnostic assays. It reacts with the enzyme to produce a blue color and has a fluorescence emission maximum at about 480 nm. The product is available in high purity and high quality and it is also an enzyme substrate.

4-Nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-acetyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-b-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-b-D-glucopyranoside is modified acetylated chromogenic substrate designed for the detection and quantification of enzyme activity. This highly specific substrate is cleaved by enzymes, releasing a yellow 4-nitrophenol product that can be easily measured spectrophotometrically. This allows for accurate and sensitive analysis of enzyme kinetics, inhibition studies, and substrate specificity determination.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-xylopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to detect the specific enzymatic activity of alpha-xylosidase. After cleavage, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl is released, resulting in a blue to blue-green color change in bacterial colonies or media. 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-D-xylopyranoside is used in bacterial xylan metabolism studies and plant cell wall degradation assays.

2-Naphthyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is a substrate for α-glucosidase. 2-Naphthol is released upon hydrolyzation. By simultaneous coupling with a suitable staining reagent, such as hexazonium p-rosaniline, the corresponding reddish-brown azo-dye is formed. Naphthols can also be detected by fluorescence analysis.

Chromogenic substrate for α-galactosidase yielding a blue precipitate. Used for species differentiation within the family Enterobacteriaceae and differentiation of Bifido bacteria species from Lactobacillus species.

5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl-beta-D-cellobioside is a crystalline compound that is used in microbiological studies. It inhibits the growth of organisms by binding to active enzymes and preventing the formation of ATP. The crystalline form of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3 indoxyl beta D cellobioside has been shown to be effective against recombinantly produced proteins in proteomic studies. This compound has also been shown to inhibit the activity of hydrolytic enzymes, which are involved in both carbohydrate and protein metabolism. 5-Bromo-4 chloro 3 indoxyl beta D cellobioside has been found to be expressed at endogenous levels in a number of organs, including the liver, kidney, brain, and spleen.

Chromogenic β-galactosidase substrate yielding a yellow solution upon cleavage. Can be used for the detection of coliforms due to their β-galactosidase activity.
