FDG – Galactosidase Assay Kit
Fluorometric assay kit for sensitive detection of β-galactosidase activity in cells.
FDG β-Galactosidase Assay Kit is a fluorometric assay for measuring β-galactosidase activity in living cells. It uses fluorescein di-β-D-galactopyranoside (FDG) as a substrate that produces a fluorescent signal upon cleavage.
This kit provides sensitive and quantitative detection of enzyme activity and is suitable for reporter gene studies and cell-based assays.
