Product Overview
Fluorescein 95% is a highly purified synthetic dye widely used in laboratory applications for its intense fluorescence under ultraviolet or blue light. This water-soluble powder dissolves readily to produce a bright yellow-orange solution, making it ideal for tracing, labeling, and diagnostic purposes. The 95% purity grade ensures minimal impurities, providing consistent and reliable results in sensitive assays. Its chemical structure allows for strong light absorption and emission, enabling clear visualization in microscopy and flow cytometry. The dye remains stable under standard lab conditions but should be protected from prolonged light exposure to prevent photodegradation. Fluorescein’s versatility extends to medical diagnostics, where it aids in detecting corneal damage or vascular leakage. For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This product is packaged in airtight containers to maintain purity and prevent moisture absorption.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Fluorescein 95% in water?
Fluorescein 95% is highly soluble in water, forming a bright yellow-orange solution. For best results, dissolve gradually while stirring.
2. Can this dye be used for fluorescence microscopy?
Yes, Fluorescein 95% is commonly used in fluorescence microscopy due to its strong emission under UV or blue light excitation.
3. How should Fluorescein 95% be stored to maintain stability?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation from light and moisture exposure.
4. Is this grade suitable for medical diagnostic applications?
Fluorescein 95% is laboratory-grade and can be used in diagnostic applications like corneal staining or vascular studies.
5. What alternatives exist for Fluorescein in fluorescent labeling?
Alternatives include Rhodamine B or Eosin Y, though Fluorescein remains preferred for its brightness and water solubility.
