Fluorescamine is a popular amine-fluorogenic reagent for determining protein concentrations in solutions and on gels. It is also used to analyze low molecular weight amines by TLC, HPLC and capillary electrophoresis. Fluorescamine is nonfluorescent but readily reacts with primary aliphatic amines, including those in peptides and proteins, to yield a strongly blue-green fluorescent adduct that can be excited by UV light. The amine adduct has absorption maximum at 385 nm and fluorescence maximum at 486 nm.
