Fluorescamine is a non-fluorescent reagent that reacts readily with primary amino groups in amino acids and peptides to form highly fluorescent derivatives, whereas the reagent and its degradation products are non-fluorescent. No significant fluorescence with ammonia. Low background due to…

Nile Red is an uncharged, hydrophobic, photostable molecule that strongly fluoresces bright red in hydrophobic environments. It is a fluorescent stain for intracellular lipid droplets. Nile red can be used for the rapid determination of lipids by thin-layer chromatography or for staining whole…

p-Nitro Blue Tetrazolium Chloride is an NADPH-diaphorase substrate that competitively inhibits NOS (nitric oxide synthase) (IC50 = 3-4 μM). In combination with 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP) and an appropriate reaction buffer, Nitroblue tetrazolium forms a substrate for the…
