A stock solution of 7.5 mg of fluorescamine in 25 ml of acetone is stable at room temperature, if kept free of moisture. Fluorescamine hydrolyzes quite rapidly in water to give non-fluorescent products. The half-life for the reaction with peptides is 10-100 milliseconds, with hydrolysis taking 1-10 seconds.
