Collection: Microbial Media for Molecular Biology and Protein Expression

Microbial Media for Molecular Biology and Protein Expression — gathers reagents and media components for molecular biology work and protein expression, including chromogenic and luminogenic substrates such as galactopyranoside derivatives and luciferin for detecting reporter enzyme activity. These materials support the stages from bacterial colony selection to verification of gene expression in recombinant systems.

Reagents in this category are used by molecular biology researchers for blue-white screening assays in DNA cloning, testing beta-galactosidase and other reporter enzyme activity, and chemiluminescence detection in gene reporter systems such as luciferase. Biotechnology laboratories and expression vector development teams use these substrates to verify successful cell transformation and monitor the expression levels of recombinant proteins in various microbial strains.

Example products in this collection: TCI B3470 97753-82-7 5-Bromo-3-indolyl beta-D-Galactopyranoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI C2371 138182-21-5 6-Chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-Galactopyranoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI B3201 7240-90-6 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl beta-D-Galactopyranoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI N0418 369-07-3 2-Nitrophenyl beta-D-Galactopyranoside [Substrate for beta-D-Galactosidase], TCI A5030 2591-17-5 D-(-)-Luciferin [Chemiluminescence Reagent], TCI N0616 3150-24-1 4-Nitrophenyl beta-D-Galactopyranoside [Substrate for beta-Galactosidase].

Reagent selection should consider the substrate's specificity toward the target enzyme, purity level, and product form such as ready-to-use solution or powder that needs to be dissolved before use in assays. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
