Applications & Uses
Description
2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate is a cell-permeable fluorogenic probe for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO).
Uses
Cell permeable, sensitive indicator of peroxynitrite formation. After hydrolysis of the diacetate groups by cytosolic esterases or base-catalyzed cleavage of the diacetate groups, DCDHF is oxidized by peroxynitrite yielding the highly fluorescent product
Uses
2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate may be used as a superior gas phase alternative to underivatized fluorescein and as a component/substrate of the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay to quantitate reactive oxygen species (ROS).
