Girard's Reagent T

Girard's Reagent T is a hydrazide-based chemical tool used to derivatize and isolate carbonyl compounds, particularly α-dicarbonyls like methylglyoxal, via UV-detectable adducts. It is widely applied in analytical biochemistry for the study of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in metabolic disease research, facilitating both in vitro assays and the analysis of biological samples.
