CHLOROPHENOL RED-BETA-D-GALACTOPYRANOSID

Описание

Chlorophenol red β-D-galactopyranoside (CPRG) is a colorimetric substrate for β-galactosidase. Upon enzymatic cleavage by β-galactosidase, chlorophenol red is released, which can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 570 nm as a measure of β-galactosidase activity.

Общее описание

Chlorophenol red-β-D-galactopyranoside (CPRG) is a long-wavelength yellow dye commonly used for colorimetric assays. It serves as a substrate for β-galactosidase (β-gal) which hydrolyzes CPRG to form chlorophenol red (purple colored). This product is quantified by measuring its absorbance at 570 nm. CPRG is used to identify fecal coliform bacteria. It is about 10 times more sensitive than other chromogenic agents such as o-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG). CPRG also has a high rapid turnover.
