01 /Applications

Histochemical Staining

This substrate is employed in histochemistry to detect the presence and location of specific enzymes within tissue sections. Enzymatic cleavage results in an insoluble coloured precipitate, allowing for precise visualisation of enzyme activity.

Enzyme Activity Detection

It serves as a chromogenic substrate for detecting various sulfatase enzymes. The release of the coloured indolyl derivative upon enzymatic hydrolysis provides a clear visual signal of enzyme presence and activity in biochemical assays.

Microbiological Assays

Used in microbiological settings for the identification of specific microorganisms based on their enzymatic profiles. The chromogenic reaction can aid in differentiating bacterial species possessing the target enzyme.
