Properties
Description
Lysine-red dextran is a compound that, when dissolved in a pH 9.0 borate buffer, exhibits a maximum absorbance at 583 nm and an emission wavelength at 602 nm. This compound comes in the form of a powder that varies in color from light to dark purple and is easily dissolvable in water. Lysine-red dextran is a high-quality product with a molecular weight of 3,000-6,000 and a degree of substitution of 0.001-0.03.
