FLUORESCEIN ISOTHIOCYANATE ISOMER I

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is yellow-orange in color with an absorption maximum at 495nm. Upon excitation, it emits a yellow-green color with an emission maximum at 525nm._x000D_ It is widely used to attach a fluorescent label to proteins via the amine group. The isothiocyanate group reacts with amino terminal and primary amines in proteins. It has been used for the labeling of proteins including antibodies and lectins._x000D_ Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I has been proposed as a contact sensitizer._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Reagent for the FITC labeling of proteins; microsequencing of proteins and peptides (HPLC)_x000D_ Biological applications include use as a fluorescent labeling reagent for proteins, a fluorescent reagent for protein tracing, and a reagent in the fluorescent antibody technique for the rapid identification of pathogens. It may be employed as the derivatization reagent for amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine and P-phenylethylamine in human urine during their capillary electrophoretic (CE) determination. It may be used for the preparation of fluorescent antibodies. It was employed for in vitro sensitization studies._x000D_ Reagent for the FITC labeling of proteins; Microsequencing of proteins and peptides (HPLC)_x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1, 5 g in glass bottle_x000D_ 50, 100, 250, 500 mg in glass bottle
