The Fluorescent β-Galactosidase assay is used for determining the β-galactosidase activity in the lysates of cells transfected with a β-galactosidase expression construct. The Fluorescent β-Galactosidase assay (MUG) provides a 96-well assay format for galactosidase activity that is suitable for high throughput applications. The production of the fluorphore is monitored at an emission/excitation wavelength of 365/460 nm.

• Sensitive, fluorescent β-galactosidase assay
• Uses 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (4-MUG) fluorophore
• Supplied with 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) for calibration and standards
