Magenta-Gal
Magenta-Gal is used as an alternative to X-Gal, and produces a red color. Magenta-Gal is hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase to produce a red 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 red colonies when grown on plates containing Magenta-Gal.Magenta-Gal is commonly used in conjunction withIPTG (GoldBIo #I2481) for red/white screening.Product Specifications:5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indoxyl β-D- galactopyranosideMagentaTM-β-D-galactoside; MagentaTM-β-D-GalRed-GalMOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADEFormula: C14H15BrClNO6MW: 408.63 g/mol
