Description
Heparin Rhodamine is a fluorescent heparin polysaccharide. Heparin is functionalized with rhodamine, Ex/Em wavelength 552/575 nm. Purity: >95% powder. Degree of substitution: 1 mol % substitution and at least one dye molecule per HP polymer. HP labeled with other types of rhodamine dyes such as Texas Red, Sulforhodamine 101 may be available through our custom synthesis.
Properties
Heparin is a member of the glycosaminoglycan family of carbohydrates  (which includes the closely related molecule  heparan sulfate) and consists of a variably sulfated repeating  disaccharide unit. The most common disaccharide unit in heparin is composed of a 2-O-sulfated iduronic acid  and 6-O-sulfated, N-sulfated glucosamine, IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S).
Heparin CAS#: 9005-49-6
