Produktinformation

• Name: 4-Methylumbelliferyl dodecanoate
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 4-Methylumbelliferyl dodecanoate is a fluorogenic substrate for lipase. After enzymatic cleaveage, free 4-methylumbelliferone (also known as hymecromone) is released, exhibiting blue fluorescence upon excitation with UV light. The strongest fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone requires deprotonation of the hydroxyl group (thus requires alkaline pH), with a maximal fluorescence intensity obtained with excitation at 350 to 370 nm and emission at 440 to 470 nm. The use of 4-methylumbelliferyl dodecanoateas a substrate for measuring the lipase activity is used for detecting pancreatic insufficiency in diagnosis assays as well as the screening of lipase deficiency.
