FITC -trehalose (C007B-166010)

Product Description：FITC-Trehalose (Fluorescein isothiocyanate trehalose) is a fluorescent derivative of trehalose. In nature, trehalose can be found in animals, plants, and microorganisms. The trehalose is then broken down into glucose by the catabolic enzyme trehalase.A fluorescent derivative of trehalose. Supplied as an orange to dark orange powder which is readily soluble in water. FITC-trehalose can be used to selectively label and image Mycobacteria tuberculosis in vivo, as the molecule is incorporated into the cell envelope of the bacteria. FITC-Trehalose (Fluorescein isothiocyanate trehalose) is a fluorescent derivative of trehalose. In nature, trehalose can be found in animals, plants, and microorganisms. The trehalose is then broken down into glucose by the catabolic enzyme trehalase. FITC-trehalose has a molecular weight of 731.7 Da. All batches are checked for molecular weight, degree of substitution, loss on drying and free FITC. Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural α-linked 1,1-Glucose disaccharide – lacking a reducing end and very resistant to acidic hydrolysis. StructureTrehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural α-linked 1,1-Glucose disaccharide – lacking a reducing end and very resistant to acidic hydrolysis.Spectral dataFITC-trehalose has an excitation maximum at 493 nm and an emission maximum at 520 nm.Storage and stabilityFITC-trehalose is stable for more than 6 years when stored dry in well-sealed containers at ambient temperature.SolubilityFITC-trehalose dissolves readily in water.ApplicationA number of application areas of trehalose are currently being explored, for example treatments of amyloidosis, depression and dry eyes.
