Derivatization Agents

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of derivatization agents for use in various applications. Derivatization agents are critical compounds used to chemically modify analytes to enhance their detectability, stability, and chromatographic properties in analytical chemistry. These agents play a crucial role in techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and mass spectrometry (MS), where they help in converting non-volatile, thermally labile, or otherwise undetectable compounds into more amenable forms. Researchers utilize derivatization agents to improve the separation and detection of complex mixtures, enabling precise and accurate analysis of components at trace levels. In scientific research, these agents are employed to study a wide array of substances, including environmental pollutants, food additives and biological molecules. Derivatization can aid in the identification and quantification of amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and steroids, among others, by enhancing their chromatographic and spectrometric responses. By offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality derivatization agents, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports advanced research and analytical methodologies across various fields, including biochemistry, environmental science, and forensic analysis. These agents empower scientists to achieve greater sensitivity and specificity in their analytical procedures, driving forward discoveries and innovations in their respective disciplines.
