Dichlorofluorescin diacetate dcf da

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) is a fluorogenic probe used in cellular assays to detect the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, and hydroxyl radicals. DCF-DA is a non-fluorescent compound that can passively diffuse into cells, where it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to form the fluorescent compound dichlorofluorescein (DCF). The intensity of the DCF fluorescence is proportional to the level of ROS present in the cells.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
