Description
X-Glu is a biochemistry-grade chromogenic substrate supplied at min. 98 % purity for microbiological and life-science applications. It is identified by CAS number 15548-60-4, EG nr. 239-603-0, and empirical formula C₁₄H₁₅BrClNO₆, with a molar mass of 408,64 g/mol. Physical data include a flash point of 361,3 °C and a boiling point of 673,9 °C. The product is Laboratories use such reagents in selective media and detection workflows where a defined, high-purity indicator compound is required. Clear molecular and registry data support method documentation and batch traceability. This material is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH for biochemistry use, allowing straightforward alignment with established microbiology protocols. The compact glass pack facilitates cold-chain inventory handling and precise weighing for media preparation without altering the stated chemical identity or purity specification.

Questions about X-Glu, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 50 mg, glass
What is this article?
X-Glu, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 50 mg, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Enzymes & substrates, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
An enzyme is sold by activity, in units defined by a stated reaction, not only by milligrams. Source and specific activity are the specification. A substrate is the molecule that enzyme converts, often a chromogenic one so the reaction can be seen. Units from two suppliers are comparable only when the definition matches.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
