Product Information

Description

Chitin azure is a chromogenic substrate composed of chitin covalently bound to Remazol Brilliant Blue dye, typically presented as a fine blue powder. As an insoluble polysaccharide, it serves as a specialized substrate for assessing chitinase activity in enzymology and glycoscience research. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, the release of soluble dyed fragments enables sensitive colorimetric quantification. Widely utilized in studies of fungal biology, insect physiology, and microbial pathogenesis, chitin azure supports investigations into carbohydrate metabolism and cell wall degradation mechanisms.
