Alkali Scientific X GAL and IPTG Combo, 1 Gram Bottle of Each

Supplier: Alkali Scientific LIP001CP
X GAL and IPTG Combo is a reagent kit that includes both X GAL (5-Bromo 4-Chloro 3-Indolyl β-D-Galactoside) and IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactoside) in 1g quantities of each compound. This combination is widely used in molecular biology experiments for the detection and induction of β-galactosidase activity in transformed cells. X GAL provides a colorimetric marker for the presence of β-galactosidase, turning blue upon cleavage. IPTG acts as an inducer of gene expression, particularly in systems utilizing lac operon-based promoters. This kit is ideal for researchers needing to monitor gene expression or screen for recombinant bacteria in cloning experiments.
