new products from glycosynth

Glycosynth is always working on new substrates, both as alternatives to exisiting products and in the quest for ways to perform new diagnostic tests. The following compounds are now readily available. Use the links below to see full details:

Chromogenic substrate producing green-blue colonies when hydrolysed by bacteria.

Chromogenic substrate for naringinase.

Chromogenic substrate producing insoluble magenta colour; an alternative to X-mannopyranoside.

Water soluble phosphatase substrate producing an insoluble magenta coloured precipitate after hydrolysis. Useful as an alternative to the water-insoluble p-toluidine salt form and also to X-phosphate.

31180 5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-ribofuranoside
Chromogenic substrate producing an insoluble magenta colour; an alternative to X-ribofuranoside. Covered by US Patent 7,323,488 and by European Patents 1436411 and 1438424.

70094 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate disodium salt [ X-Phos disodium salt]
Water-soluble phosphatase substrate. Very useful as a replacement for the water-insoluble and toxic p-toluidine salt form of X-Phos [CAS No. 6578-06-9].

01094 5-Bromo-3-indolyl phosphate disodium salt [Blue-Phos disodium salt ]
Water-soluble phosphatase substrate. Gives a darker blue end product than X-Phos.

Chromogenic substrate producing an insoluble dark blue colour; an alternative to X-ribofuranoside. Covered by US Patent 7,323,488 and by European Patents 1436411 and 1438424.

[Not for supply to the USA].

Chromogenic substrate producing an insoluble rose colour; an alternative to X-ribofuranoside. Covered by US Patent 7,323,488 and by European Patents 1436411 and 1438424. [Not for supply to the USA].

Substrate showing superior performance over MUG (Product code 44064) when used for the detection of beta-glucuronidase producing E.coli in short-term assays. Compared with MUG, CMUG gives a much higher fluorescence with positive strains after 7h incubation.

87045 6-Chloro-4-trifluoromethylumbelliferyl beta-D-galactopyranoside [ CTU-Gal ]
Substrate which exhibits longer absorption/emission maxima (~385/500 nm) than 4MU-derived substrates (~365/450 nm). May be beneficial when levels of endogenous fluorescence in the sample preclude the use of 4MU-substrates.

Chromogenic substrate producing an insoluble pale red colour; an alternative to X-ribofuranoside.
Covered by US Patent 7,323,488 and by European Patents 1436411 and 1438424.

26180 3-Indoxyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside
Chromogenic substrate producing an insoluble dark grey blue colour; an alternative to X-ribofuranoside. Covered by US Patent 7,323,488 and by European Patents 1436411 and 1438424.

Chromogenic substrate for beta-D-ribofuranosidase which produces a water-soluble yellow colour on hydrolysis.
