Estradiol Glow

Estradiol Glow is the ovarian steroid hormone 17-ß-Estradiol labeled with a novel low molecular weight orange/red fluorophor thus retaining its chemical properties and it´s biological activity. This allows for a wide range of applications including analysis of in vivo and in 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 implications 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).
