IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside)

The product's primary benefit is its key role in blue/white screening. IPTG functions as a non-metabolizable analog of allolactose, acting as a potent inducer of the lac operon to drive the expression of the β-galactosidase gene (encoded by lacZ). When used in conjunction with X-gal, IPTG facilitates the colorimetric assay used for screening recombinant plasmids containing a gene of interest. Supplied as a pure powder (MW = 238.31) for precise stock preparation, this product ensures superior quality and consistency. A Complete Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for each lot, providing full traceability.
