Used as a fluorescent labeling reagent primarily for carbohydrates and glycoconjugates in biochemical and molecular biology applications. Its high fluorescence intensity and water solubility make it ideal for tagging reducing sugars, glycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids for detection and analysis in techniques like capillary electrophoresis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and gel imaging. Commonly employed in glycan analysis, N-glycan profiling, and carbohydrate fragment analysis due to its ability to provide clear, sensitive signals. Also utilized in the development of sensors and assays for glycomics and carbohydrate-related diagnostics where fluorescent detection is required.
