Application
Fluorescent label for glycans and saccharides.
2-Aminoacridone is a highly fluorescent aromatic, which contains a primary amine group that reacts with an aldehyde group at the reducing end of a carbohydrate and is reduced to a stable amine derivative by sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Picomolar levels of glycan compounds can be detected using this fluorophore. The resulting derivatzed compounds can be separated by reverse-phase HPLC and detected by positive-ion electrospray MS . An intense fluorescent, hydrophobic probe that is stable over a wide pH range is useful in the derivatization of glycans to allow for the analysis of complex oligosaccharides using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography and reverse- and normal-phase chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy to determine relative concentrations and structural identity of individual oligosaccharides . The λ excitation and λ emission are 425 nm and 532 nm, respectively.
