5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, also known as Magenta-Glc or Rose-β-D-Glc, is a synthetic chromogenic substrate used for detecting β-glucosidase activity, for example in chromogenic microbiological culture media. When β-glucosidase cleaves the 5-bromo-6-chloro-indoxyl group, it produces a magenta (red-violet) indigoid precipitate. Catalogue details include CAS number 93863-89-9, molecular formula C14H15BrClNO6, and molecular weight 408.63. Store at -15 to -20°C, with a signal word of Warning. Molekula supplies 5-Bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucopyranoside from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
