Application

9-Anthroyl nitrile is a fluorescent reagent useful in the derivatization of glucocorticoids to aid their detection and separation using RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection. It forms fluorescent esters by reacting with primary the hydroxyl group at the position 21 of the carbon chain on the glucocorticoid .

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

For derivatization of hydroxyl compounds for HPLC with fluorescence detection.

Hepatic parenchymal cells contribute to the clearance of circulating tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in vivo. The hepatocyte extracellular matrix is interposed between the endothelial-lined sinusoids and the parenchymal cell surface and thus may influence t-PA clearance. To test this hypothesis

A new ultrasensitive fluorescent derivatization procedure for chromatographic analysis of primary, secondary, and nonpolar tertiary alcohols is described. The procedure uses Bodipy FL in basic dichloromethane solution with Mukaiyama's reagent (2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide) to form highly fluorescent ester derivatives that can
