Why am I able to detect AccQ•Tag derivatized S-allylcysteine with fluroescence but another lab cannot detect it underivatized with fluorescence? - WKB106978
Article number: 106978
ENVIRONMENT
- Amino acid analysis
- AccQ•Tag
- S-allylcysteine
- HPLC
- UPLC
ANSWER
S-allylcysteine does not have a structure that is detected by fluorescence. Many amino acid structures are not detectable by fluorescence or UV without derivatization.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For additional information, see What is the purpose of derivatizing amino acids with AccQ•Tag reagent?
