Our O-Phthalaldehyde OPA CAS 643-79-8 is a 99% pure fluorogenic reagent for the sensitive detection and quantification of primary amines, amino acids, peptides, and proteins in bioanalytical chemistry. OPA reacts rapidly with primary amines in the presence of a thiol co-reagent (e.g., 2-mercaptoethanol or N-acetylcysteine) to form highly fluorescent isoindole adducts.
Each batch of CAS 643-79-8 OPA is tested for fluorescence background, ensuring minimal blank signal for maximum detection sensitivity. Supplied with certificate of analysis.
