5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-L-fucopyranoside (X-Fuc) is a chromogenic substrate specifically designed for the identification and detection of fucosidase enzyme activity. Upon cleavage by fucosidase, it generates a blue-colored 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-hydroxy-indole precipitate, which can be easily observed under a microscope or spectrophotometer. This feature makes X-Fuc an invaluable tool across various applications, such as biochemical analysis, histochemical staining, cell biology, and enzyme kinetic assays. By providing a fast, sensitive, and reliable readout for fucosidase activity, 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-L-fucopyranoside facilitates essential research in the understanding of biological processes and the development of therapeutic interventions.

Chromogenic substrate targeting alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase

Aldol® 495 nonanoate is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of lipase activity. The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by C9 esterases, yielding development of an orange coloration. In addition, green fluorescence is generated when Aldol® 355 fluorescence enhancer or a suitable matrix is present. Aldol® 495 nonanoate can be used in enzyme assays and live bacterial cultures. Aldol® 495 nonanoate is suitable for use in liquid and solid media, under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions.
