Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 116.67 mg/mL (315.06 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 5 mg/mL (13.50 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

Protocol
GLUase activity of E. coli cells is measured. Three millilitres of 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide hydrate (MUGlu) solution (55 mg of hydrated MUGlu and 20 mL of Triton X-100 in 50 mL of sterile water) is added to each flask (final concentration:165 mg/L). The incubation temperature is 44°C. One hundred microlitres of 2 M NaOH solution is added to each 2.9-mL aliquot to obtain a pH>10 before the fluorescence measurement[1].
