5-FTSC [Fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide] – 25 mg

Overview

5-FTSC, or fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide, is a highly effective reagent designed for selective labeling in various biochemical applications. This product reacts with ketones to produce stable hydrazones while forming somewhat less stable hydrazones with aldehydes. The rapid reaction rate with aldehydes allows for effective labeling in numerous biochemical assays. For those looking to enhance the stability of their reaction, these hydrazones can be reduced using sodium borohydride (NaBH4), which improves the integrity of the linkage.

Researchers have successfully applied 5-FTSC in the labeling of a diverse range of biomolecules, such as L-aspartase-a-decarboxylase, enzyme-oxidized live plant protoplasts, and various immunoglobulins. Its utility extends across multiple fields, including molecular biology, immunology, and cell biology, making it a versatile choice for your laboratory needs.
