Thiolite™ Blue is one of the most sensitive sensors for measuring thiol compounds. It gives a blue fluorescent adduct upon reacting with thiol compounds (such as GSH and cysteine). It can be used to quantifying the number of cysteines on a protein. We have used it to measure glutathione fluorimetrically. It has >200-fold fluorescence enhancement upon reaction with thiol-containing compounds. Thiolite™ Blue is an excellent replacement for mBBr (monobromobimane) due to their similar spectral properties. Compared to mBBr, the thiol adduct of Thiolite™ Blue has much stonger fluorescence and absorption than that of mBBr, making it a much more sensitive thiol probe than bromobimanes.
