8-Aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic Acid, Trisodium Salt by Molecular Depot is a 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid trisodium salt, a water-soluble fluorescent label carrying three sulfonate groups. The three sulfonates make the dye strongly negatively charged as well as highly water-soluble, which is what allows a labelled sugar to be separated by capillary electrophoresis, since the neutral carbohydrate acquires a charge from the label. It is used to label reducing sugars for capillary electrophoresis, as a fluorescent tracer and in glycan analysis. Each unit contains 10 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
