X-Gal and IPTG
X-Gal and IPTG
Our X-Gal and IPTG products are intended to be used together for blue-white colony screening. X-Gal is a chromogenic substrate for beta-galactosidase that yields a blue precipitate upon hydrolysis, while IPTG induces the transcription of genes from the lac and tac operons in bacteria, notably the hydrolase enzyme beta-galactosidase (ß-Gal).

Used in blue/white screening experiments to determine the presence or absence of bacterial recombinant vectors following transformation
