Bluo-Gal
Bluo-Gal is used as an alternative to X-Gal, and produces a darker blue color. Bluo-Gal is hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase to produce a blue precipitate. This precipitate is insoluble in alcohol and xylenes, thus making it suitable for immunoblotting and immunocytochemical assays. Bacterial colonies containing active β-galactosidase produce blue colonies when grown on plates containing Bluo-Gal.Bluo-Gal is commonly used in conjunction withIPTG (GoldBIo #I2481) for blue-white screening.Product Specifications:Bluo-Gal5-Bromo-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranosideBlue-Gal, Lapis™-β-D-GalMOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADEFormula: C14H16BrNO6MW: 374.18 g/molPurity: >99% by HPLCSoluble in dimethylformamide (DMF)
