The synthesis and characterization of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside, an improved chromogenic substrate for beta-galactosidase, is described. The important kinetic parameters (K-m, V-max and K-p) for this substrate were compared with those of other substrates. The diagnostic utility of this substrate in a digoxin liposome immunoassay is discussed.
