Naphthoresorcinol

Naphthoresorcinol (1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene) is a fluorescent dye (λex=330 nm, λem=380 nm) that can react with the NPPD (a tracer) and concentrated HCl and develop a red color. Naphthoresorcinol could be used as a background electrolyte (BGE) to determine the carbohydrates[1][2][3].
