Product Information

• Name: 1-Azidopyrene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Azidopyrene is a reactive chemical species that has been shown to damage phospholipid membranes by reacting with the double bonds in the lipid molecule. It also induces genotoxic activity, which can lead to cancer. In addition, 1-azidopyrene is chemically reactive and can form stable covalent linkages with other molecules. This means that it is able to react with other substances, such as DNA and proteins, causing damage to these molecules. The reaction between 1-azidopyrene and sodium carbonate produces light when exposed to light or radiation. This property makes 1-azidopyrene useful for detecting sodium carbonate levels in water samples.
