Application

9-Anthroyl nitrile is a fluorescent reagent useful in the derivatization of glucocorticoids to aid their detection and separation using RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection. It forms fluorescent esters by reacting with primary the hydroxyl group at the position 21 of the carbon chain on the glucocorticoid .

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

For derivatization of hydroxyl compounds for HPLC with fluorescence detection.
