BCIP is the most widely used chromogenic phosphatase substrate, which forms a dark blue (l_max ~615 nm) precipitate on enzymatic hydrolysis. It is often used with the oxidant NBT (nitro blue tetrazolium chloride,#10008), which facilitates the precipitation. For your convenience, we offer a BCIP/NBT Kit (# 10003) that contains both reagents with a price lower than the combined prices of the components. Please also see our BCIP derivatives below that yield other colored precipitates.
