Fluorometric Quantitation of Protein using the Reactive Compound Fluorescamine
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Total protein content is a measurement common to many applications in basic science and clinical research. Several different fluorescent techniques are available that eliminate many of the problems associated with the traditional absorbance-based colorimetric methods to measure total protein content. Here we describe the use of fluorescamine to quantitate total protein using the BioTek FL600 fluorescence microplate reader.

متن کاملUSE OF ORGANIC SOLVENTS FOR THE ENHANCEMENT AND LIFETIME INCREASING OF LUMINESCENCE IN FLUORIMETRIC APPLICATION BY FLUORESCAMINE
In this study, the fluorogenic efficiency of fluorescamine for spectrofluorimetric analysis of primary amines was investigated. Different mixtures of dichloromethane and other organic solvents were used for evaluation of fluorescence stability and intensity of fluorescamine derivative (Pyrrolinone). Solvents such as acetonitrile (ACN), tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioxane increase stability an...

A fllwrometric amino acid analyzer using fllmresramine for the assay of the full array of natural amino ac<ids including prolinc on a single column is reported. The proline determination was carried out by specific introduction of a solution of ,\‘chlorosl~ccinimide into the flow system. Single rolumn fluorometric amino acid analysis was curried out in a significantly shorter time and with a se...
متن کاملFluorometry of plasma amino nitrogen, with use of fluorescamine.
We describe a fluorometric procedure, with use of fluorescamine, for determining plasma amino nitrogen in a 10-mul sample of deproteinized plasma. Values for apparently healthy human subjects agree well with those obtained by spectrophotometry. The simplicity and speed of the assay recommends it as a screening procedure for detecting aminoacidopathies.
متن کاملPrimary amines in California coastal waters: Utilization by phytoplankton
A new reagent, fluorescamine, provides a simple, rapid fluorometric measurement of primary amino compounds in seawater. The reagent detects as little as 0.2 r.lM (glycine equivalents) directly in 2 ml of seawater. Fluorescamine-positive primary amines in the region of Newport Bay, California, range from about 0.3 PM in nearshore waters to 14 PM in bay sediments. About half the fluorescamine-pos...
