Biotin is a small biomolecule important for many cellular processes. Most importantly for biotechnology applications, Biotin is ammenable to conjugation to proteins for use in biochemical assays. Biotin has a very strong affinity for avidin and streptavidin; an attraction that is the strongest and most stable non-covalent interaction known. Glucose oxidase is an enzyme that drives the oxidation of glucose into hydrogen peroxide and D-glucono-δ-lactone. This activity is utilized in biotechnology through colormetric detection assays that are sensitive to the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced. Biotin Glucose Oxidase Conjugated is ideal for investigators involved in Cancer, Cell Signaling, Neuroscience, and Cell Biology research.

Beta-galactosidase (beta-gal; β-gal) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes β-galactosides (such as lactose and various glycoproteins) into simple sugars. Beta-galactosidase is routinely used as a reporter in biochemical experiments as well as a marker for gene expression experiments in E. coli. Beta-galactosidase can be used to cleave the chemical X-gal that forms an intense blue product that can easily be quantified.
