A novel substrate, 3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylumbelliferyl-.beta.-D-galactopyranoside, for the continuous (pKa = 6,0 for the measured product), photometric (.epsilon. = 42,000 M-1 cm-1 at 440 nm, pH 7,5) and fluorimetric (.lambda.ex = 440 nm, .lambda.em = 500 nm) assay of .beta.-galactosidase was synthesized. The substrates affinity to nitrocellulose membranes made possible its use for sensitive (up to 0.1 mole of the enzyme in 5-10 min) visual identification of the .beta.-galactosidase activity on nitrocellulose sheets.
