Product Description
BCIP, 5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate disodium salt, is a chromogenic substrate for Alkaline Phosphatase in enzyme-linked assays. It forms a bright blue precipitate when the phosphate group is cleaved. BCIP is used in forensics as a quick method to screen for semen directly from a stain at a crime scene.
Molecular Biology Grade BCIP is of >98% purity and is soluble in aqueous solutions, giving it an advantage over BCIP P-Toluidine Salt. It is most commonly coupled with NBT to produce a formazan chromagen precipitate that amplifies the signal. We conveniently provide a 50X Concentrate of BCIP/NBT for blotting.
