2′,7‘-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate
Fluorogenic probe used for the detection of reactive oxygen species
2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate is as a cell-permeable fluorogenic probe to quantify reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO). It is rapidly de-esterified in cells is oxidized to form fluorescent 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein. 2’7-Dichlorofluorescein displays excitation/emission spectra of 492/515 nm.
Diacetyldichlorofluorescein is the stable storage form of dichlorofluorescein.
