Description

A non-fluorescent chemical that reacts with amino acids, peptides, and proteins to form a highly fluorescent compound. Fluorescamine is prepared as a 0.05% water-free solution in acetone. Once reacted with a primary amine compound, fluorescamine will fluoresce a bright blue-white under ultraviolet light. The fluorescence may be hard to distinguish from the natural autofluorescence of many proteins. For maximum shelf life, fluorescamine should be stored in dry, dark conditions.
