X-Gluc (Dicyclohexylamine)

• CAS Number: 18656-96-7
• UNSPSC Description: X-Gluc Dicyclohexylamine is a dye reagent for the detection of β-glucuronidase, an enzyme produced by Escherichia coli. X-Gluc sodium can be used to detect E. coli contamination in food, water and the urinary tract. X-Gluc sodium is also widely used in molecular biology experiments to label and detect the expression of target genes (GUS reporter system)[1].
