Fluorescamine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
white powder
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.
Uses
Analytical reagent.
Uses
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.

Purification Methods
Fluram is a non-fluorescent reagent that reacts with primary amines to form highly fluorescent compounds. Purify it by dissolving (~1g) in Et2O/*C6H6 (1:1, 180 mL), washing with 1% aqueous NaHCO3 (50mL), drying (Na2SO4), and evaporating in a vacuum. Dissolve the residue in warm CH2Cl2 (5mL), dilute with Et2O (12mL) and refrigerate. Collect the solid and dry it in a vacuum. IR (CHCl3): 1810, 1745, 1722, 1625 and 1600 cm-1, and 1HNMR (CDCl3): 8.71 (s, -OHC=). [Weigele et max al. J Am Chem Soc 94 5927 1972, Weigele et al.
