Description

APTS (8-Aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, trisodium salt) is a fluorescent amine that is frequently used in the detection and differentiation of sugars or glycoconjugates like glycoproteins or certain hormones. Conjugation of the APTS with carbohydrates for example is performed by reductive amination of the aldehyde (or ketone) group of the sugar with APTS to form an imine, which is then reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN). The fluorophore remains stable under the reaction conditions described and provides a very sensitive detection method for the APTS-coupled molecule using laser-induced fluorescence.
