Customer comments

We are very pleased to have such a company like yours that offers products like MNI-caged-glutamate (MNI-Glu) at a very good price and still with a high quality. So we will rate your product 5 stars! Verified customer

We confirmed Hello Bio MNI-caged-glutamate works very well for our two-photon uncaging experiment. I would be very happy to recommend your MNI glutamate. Verified customer

Works very well. We will be buying MNI-caged glutamate from Hello Bio from now on. We are happy that MNI-caged glutamate from Hello Bio works well for slice electrophysiological recordings in our focal laser stimulation experiments with DPSS laser (350nm). Verified customer

Biological Data

Biological description

Caged glutamate that rapidly and efficiently releases glutamate when photolysed (300 - 380 nm excitation).

Peak absorption is at 340 nm, the quantum yield is 0.085 and photo release following a light pulse has a half-time of 200 ns.


MNI-caged-L-Glutamate is inactive at glutamate receptors and transporters at mM concentrations but does interfere with synpatic activation of GABAA receptors (IC50 = ~0.5 mM).


MNI-caged-L-Glutamate is water soluble, resistant to hydrolysis and stable at neutral pH.

Solubility & Handling

Storage instructions -20°C (protect from light)
Solubility overview Soluble in water (50mM) with gentle warming
Handling

  • This compound is light sensitive; exposure to light may affect compound performance. We therefore recommend storing the material in the dark and protecting from light.
  • Although stable to hydrolysis and soluble in water (50 mM) it is often necessary to warm stock solutions after thawing.
