Biological Activity
Description
Solvent and concentration: ddH2O: 1 mM
In Vitro
FITC-Dextran (MW 70000) is a fluorescent probe for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran (Ex=495 nm; Em=525 nm). FITC-Dextran (MW 70000) can be used as a marker to reveal heat shock-induced cell damage and to study the early and late stages of apoptosis. FITC-Dextran (MW 70000) can also be used for cell permeability studies, such as blood-brain barrier permeability and determination of the extent of blood-brain barrier disruption[1][2][3]. Storage: protect from light.
