Agilent FMOC Reagent 5061-3337

Agilent FMOC Reagent (part number 5061-3337) is a ready-to-use solution of 9‑fluorenylmethylchloroformate at 2.5 mg/mL in acetonitrile supplied as 10 × 1 mL ampoules. The reagent is provided by Agilent for use in pre-column derivatization of primary and secondary amines (commonly amino acids and related analytes) to produce fluorescent/UV-detectable FMOC derivatives for HPLC analysis. The product is shipped as a regulated hazardous material and is supplied in single-use ampoules with recommended cold storage to preserve stability.

Key Features:

• Active ingredient: 9‑fluorenylmethylchloroformate (FMOC)
• Concentration: 2.5 mg/mL in acetonitrile
• Pack/format: 10 × 1 mL ampoules (single‑use ampoules)
• Physical form: liquid; flash point (closed cup) reported ~2°C; boiling point ~81.6°C
• Storage: refrigerated (reported 2–8°C)
• Shipping: classified and handled as dangerous goods

Advantages:

• Ready-to-use standardized concentration (2.5 mg/mL) removes the need to weigh and prepare reagent solution, improving workflow consistency.
• Single-use ampoules reduce contamination and limit reagent hydrolysis, helping maintain reagent potency and reproducible derivatization.
• FMOC chemistry produces stable, highly detectable derivatives for HPLC fluorescence or UV detection, enabling sensitive analysis of amines/amino acids.
