X-Gluc Dicyclohexylamine_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	X-Gluc Dicyclohexylamine is a dye reagent for the detection of β-glucuronidase, an enzyme produced by Escherichia coli. X-Gluc sodium can be used to detect E. coli contamination in food, water and the urinary tract. X-Gluc sodium is also widely used in molecular biology experiments to label and detect the expression of target genes (GUS reporter system)[1].
Invitro	Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).1. Dissolve 20 mg X-Gluc Dicyclohexylamine in 1mL dimethylformamide (DMF) to prepare X-Gluc master mix.2. Add the prepared X-Gluc solution to agar medium plates at a final concentration of 50 μg/mL without sterilization.3. Allow the plates to air dry and be used to inoculate the organisms.4. Incubate the plates at 35°C and observe 16-24 h after inoculation.
