About This Item

UNSPSC Code:
12352200

usage

 kit sufficient for 200 standard tests

shipped in

dry ice

storage temp.

−20°C

Application

For quantitative assay of β-glucuronidase gene products in plant or animal cell lysates.

Features and Benefits

  • Fluorescent detection for quantitative and qualitative measurement
  • Ideally suited to plant expression studies due to very low GUS activity in plants and high enzyme stability
  • GUS does not interfere with plant cell function or viability

Other Notes

The substrate used in this kit is MU-GlcA (4-methylumbelliferyl β-D-glucuronide), a widely used fluorogenic substrate for determination of glucuronidase activity.
