Product Overview
Fluorescein Diacetate is a non-fluorescent, cell-permeable compound that is converted to the fluorescent molecule fluorescein by intracellular esterases. This conversion occurs in living cells, making it an excellent indicator of cell viability. Fluorescein Diacetate is widely used in various biological and biochemical applications, including cell viability assays, flow cytometry, and fluorescence microscopy. Its ability to penetrate cell membranes and its subsequent conversion to a fluorescent product make it a valuable tool for researchers and educators. The high purity and reliability of this product ensure consistent and accurate results in laboratory experiments.
