FLUORESCEIN ISOTHIOCYANATE-DEXTRAN

Description:
Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-dextran) is a fluorescent dye commonly used in biological and biochemical research, particularly for labeling and tracking molecules in live cells and tissues. It is a conjugate of fluorescein, a bright green fluorescent compound, and dextran, a polysaccharide that varies in molecular weight. FITC-dextran is characterized by its high solubility in water and its ability to emit fluorescence upon excitation with specific wavelengths of light, making it useful for imaging applications. The isothiocyanate group facilitates the conjugation of the dye to proteins or other biomolecules, allowing for the visualization of cellular processes. Its molecular weight can vary, influencing its permeability and distribution in biological systems. FITC-dextran is often employed in studies involving endocytosis, cell tracking, and vascular permeability, providing insights into cellular dynamics and interactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as with all chemical reagents, to avoid potential skin or eye irritation.
