Product Information
| Description: | 4-Methylumbelliferyl sulfate (potassium), a fluorescent substrate, is commonly used to detect sulfatase activity in biochemical and biomedical research. It consists of a sulfate group attached to a fluorescent molecule, which can be cleaved by sulfatase enzymes. Upon cleavage, 4-Methylumbelliferyl sulfate releases a highly fluorescent product that can be detected using fluorescence microscopy or spectroscopy. The use of 4-Methylumbelliferyl sulfate as a substrate for sulfatase enzymes allows accurate detection and quantification of these enzymes in a variety of biological samples. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
