Accurate identification of microorganisms is fundamental in various fields, including food safety, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality biochemicals that are essential for these identification processes, such as the chromogenic substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D (CAS: 114162-64-0). This compound is particularly valuable for the identification of specific bacterial species, most notably E. coli.

E. coli is a key indicator organism for fecal contamination. Its presence in water or food samples signals potential health risks. The identification of E. coli often relies on the detection of its enzymatic activity. 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D is specifically designed to react with the β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme, which is characteristically present in most E. coli strains. Upon interaction with the GUS enzyme, the substrate breaks down to produce a vivid blue color. This colorimetric response allows for rapid and clear differentiation of E. coli colonies from other microorganisms on culture plates, significantly streamlining the microbial identification process.

As a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing researchers and laboratories with reliable tools for accurate microbial detection. Our 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D is synthesized to high purity standards, ensuring consistent and dependable results in diagnostic and research settings. By using this substrate, laboratories can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of their microbial testing protocols, contributing to public health and safety.

The application of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D is a prime example of how chromogenic substrates can revolutionize microbial identification. Beyond E. coli, similar substrates are developed for identifying other bacteria based on their unique enzymatic profiles. The visual nature of the result simplifies interpretation and reduces the need for complex biochemical tests. For all your requirements in microbial identification reagents and other high-quality biochemicals, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stands ready as your trusted partner and supplier.
