Product Information

• Name: Dodecanal
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dodecanal is an odorant that can be used as a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) fluorescence probe. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of human pathogens and human serum, and it also has antimicrobial properties. Dodecanal binds to the hydroxyl group of TFA and forms a covalent bond with the cysteine residues in proteins, inhibiting their function. The optimum concentration for dodecanal is 0.1 mM in human serum. Dodecanal will bind to caproic acid at concentrations of 2 mM or greater, which may affect its fluorescence properties. Dodecanal also binds to CD-1 mice when exposed to concentrations of 1 mM or greater, which may cause some interference with its fluorescence properties.
