3,6-Bis(bromomethyl)durene

Ref. 3D-KBA16864

Product Information

• Name: 3,6-Bis(bromomethyl)durene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,6-Bis(bromomethyl)durene is a nitrate that is used as a fluorophore in microscopy. The molecule has two bromine atoms bonded to the same carbon atom, which gives it a bright green fluorescence. 3,6-Bis(bromomethyl)durene has been shown to be useful for the detection of perchlorates in urine samples. It can also be used to study the structure of proteins and other biomolecules because it is a ligand that binds to metal ions and lanthanides. 3,6-Bis(bromomethyl)durene can be used in both structured and unstructured illumination modes for fluorescence microscopy.
