Uses
Fluorescamine is a non-fluorescent reagent that reacts readily under mild conditions with primary amines in amino acids and peptides to form stable, highly fluorescent compounds. Reaction takes place under mild conditions. Low background due to hydrolysis. For fluorescent detection of amino acids, peptides and proteins.Fluorescamine plays an important role as a reagent for the detection of amines, peptides and proteins. It is also used as a substrate for measuring protease activity. It is utilized in the detection and quantitation of residual aminopenicillins and sulfonamides in honey by HPLC. It finds application in the determination of lisinopril in human plasma and urine.
