  • Publication number: 20110230664
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds that may be used as chromogens, fluorochromes, or as both. Said compounds may further be used as substrate for at least one enzyme, wherein said enzyme is capable of processing an aromatic amine group (—NH2), an aromatic hydroxyl group (—OH), or an aromatic phosphate group (—PO4). Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides methods for precipitating said compounds as well as methods for detecting a target using said compounds. Even further, kits comprising said compounds are disclosed. Said compounds may be used in any method utilizing a fluorochrome, a chromogen, or both.
