Estradiol Glow

Estradiol Glow is the ovarian steroid hormone 17-ß-Estradiol labeled with a novel low molecular weight orange/red fluorophor thus retain-ing its chemical properties and it ́s biological activity. This allows for a wide range of applications including: analysis of in vivo andin vitro steroid uptake in real time; monitoring of intracellular and subcellular steroid transport; studies on steroid-binding proteins; use as tracer for steroid immunoassays (to replace isotopes or enzymes; photodynamic elimination of estrogen sensitive tissues and cells in experimental settings with possible future clinical im-plications Estradiol Glow can be histologically fixed using formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde without any significant loss of fluorescence intensity. Typical concentration range used for cell culture experiments: 10-5M-10-7M (may vary depending on cell line and individual experimental set-up) .
