Product Description
Weighing and filter-sterilizing IPTG for every experiment wastes bench time. This Zymo Research premade sterile 0.5 M IPTG solution is ready to add straight to culture media or agar plates for blue-white screening or induction of lac-controlled genes. It is a convenient time-saver for cloning and expression labs.
This listing is for catalog number I1001-5: Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), 5 mL. The solution is formulated for consistent inactivation of the lac repressor. Use it with X-Gal to identify recombinant colonies by blue-white screening, or alone to switch on expression of recombinant genes under lac operon control. It is offered as a single 5 ml tube or a 5 x 5 ml pack. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
