X-Gluc; 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl b-D-glucuronide cyclohexylammonium salt monohydrate

X-Gluc is a chromogenic substrate for β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene detection that produces insoluble, intense indigo-blue chromophore (615 nm) after enzymatic hydrolysis.  It is useful for a variety of applications, including use in bacterial detection systems (e.g. E. coli).

It is routinely used to identify recombinants containing pBACgus vectors, and LIC GUS Control Insert.
