Also known as 5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate. A widely used chromogenic substrate for alkaline phosphatase in enzyme-linked assay systems. BCIP may be used alone, or may act in a coupled reaction with NBT. Upon cleavage of the phosphate group from the molecule, BCIP forms a bright blue,…

Also known as 5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside. A substrate for Beta-glucosidase that renders an intense indigo-blue chromophore (615 nm) upon enzymatic action. Used as an indicatior-probe in histochemistry and in culture media to detect beta-Glucosidase positive organisms.

Also known as 4,-5-Dihydro-2-(6-hydroxyl-2-benzo-thiazoyl)-4-thiazole-carboxylic acid. Used with firefly luciterase in bioluminiscence for the determination of ATP.
