Nitrocefin
A chromogenic β-lactamase substrate
Product Overview
Product Name: Nitrocefin
Alternate Name/Synonyms: (6R,7R)-3-[2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethenyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thiophen-2-ylacetyl)amino]-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid
Description: Nitrocefin is the chromogenic cephalosporin that acts as an excellent β-lactamase substrate. It exhibits a rapid distinctive color change from yellow (max at pH 7.0 = 390 nm) to red (max at pH 7.0 = 486 nm) as the amide bond in the beta-lactam ring is hydrolyzed by a β-lactamase. It is sensitive to hydrolysis by all known lactamases produced by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
