| Description: |
2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH2) is a non-fluorescent reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe with an excitation wavelength of 485-500 nm and an emission wavelength of 515-530 nm. 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein is first hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases and then oxidized by ROS to generate non-biomembrane-permeable, highly fluorescent 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein can undergo oxidation reactions with a variety of ROS (such as ·OH, H2O2, ONOO-, etc.) and is used to quantitatively detect the level of oxidative stress inside and outside cells. The fluorescence intensity of DCF is positively correlated with the ROS concentration. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: |
Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
