Beta-galactosidase Staining Kit

The E. coli LacZ gene is a commonly used reporter gene for testing the expression efficiency of vector mediated gene transfer. It is also used frequently to study gene promoter regulation. LacZ encodes β-galactosidase, an almost perfectly ideal choice for expression due to being very stable, resistant to proteolytic degradation, able to utilize multiple substrates and easily assayed in situ. AkrivisBio’s β-Galactosidase Staining Kit is a simple, sensitive assay, which utilizes X-Gal a colorless substrate, resulting in an intense blue insoluble indigo product easily visualized under microscopy.
