Product overview

Name H2DCFDA
Biological description Cell-permeable, fluorescent dye for ROS (reactive oxygen species e.g. H202) and NO (nitric oxide) detection. Commonly used for detection of ROS generation and to assess oxidative stress and redox status in cells and mitochondrial preparations. Fluorescence can be monitored using a flow cytometer, fluorometer, microplate reader, or fluorescence microscope, using excitation sources and filters suitable for fluorescein.
Purity >95%
Description Fluorescent dye for ROS and oxidative stress detection. Used to measure redox state of a cell.
