FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) (solution)

FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) (solution) is a fluorescent probe for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran (Ex=495 nm; Em=525 nm) . FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) 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 4000) 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].Solvent and Concentration: Sterile water: 2 mM
