Application
APTS is a fluorescence reagent that has been demonstrated to have a high level of detection sensitivity for sugars. The LOD for APTS-derivatized sugars has been shown to be 0.4 nM when using a 488 nm argon-ion laser. The multi-anionic nature of APTS makes it ideal for the studies of carbohydrate molecules and small hormone molecules by high resolution capillary electrophoresis.
