Product Description
4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-Glucuronide Trihydrate, commonly known as MUG, is a high-purity fluorogenic substrate used in biochemical assays to detect β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity. This extrapure-grade compound, with 99% purity, ensures reliable and sensitive results in research applications.
MUG is widely used in molecular biology and biochemistry labs for qualitative and quantitative analysis of GUS enzyme activity. When hydrolyzed by β-glucuronidase, it releases 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorescent compound that can be measured using a fluorometer or spectrophotometer.
Researchers and students working on gene expression studies, enzyme kinetics, or microbial assays will find this substrate indispensable. Its high sensitivity and specificity make it ideal for both academic and industrial research.
At eqipped, we ensure that every batch of MUG substrate meets stringent quality standards, providing you with consistent performance in your experiments. Whether you’re conducting GUS reporter assays or studying bacterial enzyme activity, this product delivers accurate and reproducible results.
