Product Information

• Name: 3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucitol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucitol is a glucose analog that is used as a marker for glycogen in tissue extracts. 3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucitol has been shown to be the most sensitive molecular marker for muscle glycogen concentrations, although it does not react with all types of muscle. It can also be used as a marker for glycogen content in extracts of tissue or cells because it reacts with locusta migratoria fat body. In addition, 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucitol can be used as a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe to study the structure of trehalose and fructose. The compound has been shown to bind to locusta migratoria fat body and can be used as an NMR probe to study the structure of trehalose and fructose.
