Cat. No.
A50615
CAS
80072-86-2
Beta-lactamase
CENTA is a colorimetric substrate specifically designed for the detection of beta-lactamase activity. Upon hydrolysis by beta-lactamases, CENTA undergoes a color change from light yellow to chrome yellow, facilitating quantification via colorimetric detection at 405 nm. This property makes CENTA an effective tool for studying β-lactamase function and assessing antibiotic resistance mechanisms in microbial research.
