Description
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl α-L-arabinofuranoside is a chromogenic glycoside substrate with empirical formula C₁₃H₁₃BrClNO₅ and a molar mass of 378,6 g/mol. It is Hydrolysis of the α-L-arabinofuranoside moiety releases an indoxyl derivative that oxidises to an intense blue indigo dye, enabling clear visual or photometric readout of arabinofuranosidase activity. This biochemical from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports assay development, enzyme screening and carbohydrate-active enzyme research in biochemistry and molecular biology. The defined molecular composition and convenient unit quantity facilitate precise preparation of stock and working solutions. Researchers employ the substrate in detection workflows, specificity studies and method evaluation where reliable indolyl arabinofuranosides are required.

Questions about 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-arabinofu, ranoside, 100 mg
What is this article?
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl a-L-arabinofu, ranoside, 100 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Fluorescent dyes & labels, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A fluorescent dye absorbs at one wavelength and emits at a longer one. As a label it is attached to a protein, a nucleic acid or a cell. Excitation and emission maxima, and the reactive group if it must conjugate, are the specification. The colour name does not tell you the wavelengths.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
