X-GAL (BCIG) (solution) is a widely used chromogenic beta-galactosidase substrate. X-GAL is a colorless compound until cleaved by beta-galactosidase, at which point X-GAL turns to an insoluble and detectable blue compound, making X-GAL particularly useful in techniques such as blue-white screening for cloning in bacteria. X-GAL can also be used for detection of beta-galactosidase activity[1][2].Solvent and Concentration: DMF: 20 mg/mL
