This compound does not contain any heavy metals or toxic substances and it is highly soluble in water. It has been found to have no adverse effects on humans and other animals at concentrations up to 100

Aldol® 467 beta-D-galactopyranoside is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate used for detection of beta-galactosidase activity. The colorless product is cleaved by lactose-utilizing bacteria grown in liquid or solid media, yielding yellow coloration and green fluorescence. Aldol® 467 beta-D-galactopyranoside can also be used in beta-galactosidase gene reporter assays or immunoassay applications (ELISA). Aldol® 467 beta-D-galactopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

A substrate for visualising alkaline phosphatase activity. It produces a purple insoluble end product that is detected visually, when used together with nitroblue tetrazolium. The substrate system is versatile and has functions in a variety of applications, including Northern, Southern, and Western blotting, in situ hybridization, ELISAs, microarray and immunohistochemistry. DMF soluble.

Histamine (Scombrotoxin) fish poisoning is the most frequent cause of fish poisoning incidents today. Cymit Quimica's BCM®; Histamine-producingbacteria Broth (C-0450) is a growth medium for the detection of histamine-producing bacteria in food and water samples. The medium contains an indicator that turns orange to red due to metabolites released by histidine decarboxylase.

2-Nitrophenyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-b-D-xylopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate used to assay the activity of xylosidase enzymes. It is hydrolyzed by xylosidase to yield a yellow-colored product, 2-nitrophenol, which absorbs light at 405 and 410 nm. This substrate is used in research to study the function of xylosidase enzymes and their role in various biological processes. It is also used in diagnostic tests for the detection of xylosidase activity in different microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi.

4-Nitrophenyl b-D-thiomannopyranoside acts as a substrate for β-mannosidase and thioglycoligase. Upon enzymatic cleavage, these substrates release 4-nitrophenol, a yellow chromophore that can be detected spectrophotometrically at 405 nm, facilitating quantitative measurements of enzymatic activity. Consequently, these substrates are widely used in biochemical research, clinical diagnostics, and drug discovery for evaluating the function of specific enzymes in various biological processes.

Aldol® 484 alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrate for alpha-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.20, alpha-1,4-glucosidase, also known as maltase). The colorless enzyme substrate is cleaved by bacteria producing this enzyme in liquid or solid media, yielding orange color. Green fluorescence is also generated if a suitable matrix is present such as: cellulose acetate filters, polypropylene tubes or microplates and polyethylene vials. Aldol® 484 alpha-D-glucopyranoside can be used under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
