| Application: | Phthaldialdehyde Reagent has been used for the derivatization plasma samples prior to high performance liquid chromatography. |
| Application: | Precolumn derivatization reagent for primary amines and amino acids. The fluorescent derivative can be detected by reverse-phase HPLC. The reaction requires OPA, primary amine and a sulfhydryl. In the presence of excess sulfhydryl, amines can be quantitated. In the presence of excess amine, sulfhydryls can be quantitated. |
| Application: | Useful for investigators requiring an alternate sulfhydryl moiety. Requires addition of desired sulfhydryl compound for measuring amines. Requires addition of amine to measure sulfhydryls. |
| Other Notes: | Same as P 0532, but contains no 2-mercaptoethanol. |
