Product Overview
Fluorescein is a widely used synthetic organic compound known for its bright green fluorescence under UV or blue light. This high-purity laboratory-grade dye is ideal for applications requiring sensitive detection, including fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and biochemical assays. Its water-soluble nature and strong fluorescent properties make it a preferred choice for labeling and tracing in research settings. The powder form ensures easy dissolution and consistent performance in experimental protocols. Fluorescein is stable under standard lab conditions but should be stored away from direct light to maintain optimal fluorescence intensity. Whether used in qualitative or quantitative analysis, this dye provides reliable and reproducible results, making it a staple in laboratories across India.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Fluorescein?
Fluorescein is highly soluble in water and alcohol, forming a bright yellow-green solution.
2. Is Fluorescein compatible with other dyes?
Yes, it can be used alongside other fluorescent dyes, but compatibility should be tested for specific applications.
3. Are there alternatives to Fluorescein?
Alternatives include Rhodamine and GFP, but Fluorescein remains a cost-effective choice for many applications.
4. How should Fluorescein be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to prevent degradation of fluorescent properties.
5. Can Fluorescein be used in live-cell imaging?
Yes, but its toxicity should be considered, and proper concentrations must be used.
