What is the difference between the ATTO-TAG FQ Plus Amine Derivatization Kit (Cat. No. A66521) and the ATTO-TAG FQ Amine-Derivatization Kit (Cat. No. A2334)?

The ATTO-TAG FQ Amine Derivatization Kit (Cat. No. A2334) contains a potassium cyanide (KCN) component (component B). This component has been removed in the ATTO-TAG FQ Plus Amine Derivatization Kit (Cat. No. A66521) and replaced with mandelonitrile which serves as a less toxic alternative to KCN without compromising assay performance.
