Invitrogen™ H2DCFDA (H2-DCF, DCF)

Description

• The cell-permeant 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H 2 DCFDA) (also known as dichlorofluores cin diacetate) detects reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, for example to detect generation of reactive oxygen intermediates in neutrophils and macrophages
• Upon cleavage of the acetate groups by intracellular esterases and oxidation, nonfluorescent H 2 DCFDA is converted to highly fluorescent 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF)
• Ex/Em: ∽492 - 495/517 - 527nm Product is air sensitive (store under dry argon or nitrogen) Product may be dissolved in DMSO, DMF, or ethanol for use Indicator is cell permeant Fluorescence can be monitored using a flow cytometer, fluorometer, microplate reader, or fluorescence microscope, using excitation sources and filters appropriate for fluorescein Refer to the Molecular Probes™ Handbook for additional product information
