O phthalaldehyde opa

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

O-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) is a chemical compound used in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. OPA is commonly used as a derivatizing agent for the detection and quantification of primary amines, including amino acids, by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or fluorescence spectroscopy.

Cell viability was tested after incubation with the different substances using PrestoBlue (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), a resazurin based cell viability reagent. Briefly, PrestoBlue was added 1∶10 to the cell culture medium at the end of the incubation time and incubated for additional 30 minutes at 37°C. The fluorescent signal was measured with a plate reader (HT Synergy, Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA) using an excitation of 530/25 nm and emission detection of 590/35 nm.
Total cellular protein was measured using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA), a primary amine-reactive fluorescent detection reagent from Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). OPA (50 µl) was added to 50 µl sample and fluorescence was measured using a plate reader (HT Synergy, Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA) after 5 minutes incubation time using 360/40 nm for excitation and 460/40 nm for emission.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
