Product Information

• Name: Thiocholine iodide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Thiocholine iodide is a fluorescent probe that can be used to detect the presence of propionyl-CoA in living organisms. The fluorescence of thiocholine iodide is increased in proportion to the amount of propionyl-CoA present. Thiocholine iodide has been shown to react with bacterial cells, as well as human serum and brain tissue. It has also been used in food composition analyses as a marker for microbial infection. Thiocholine iodide is often used in biochemical assays and enzyme activity studies, and its detection sensitivity can be changed by changing the ratio of sodium citrate to thiocholine iodide solution. Thiocholine iodide has been shown to be a useful tool for determining the concentration of propionyl-CoA in living organisms, which may provide insight into brain functions.
