5-aminofluorescein is also used to prepare FITC Isomer I (CDX-F0011, CDX-F0020). It is a chemical used as molecular probe and important as fluorescent dye and for derivatives. Fluorescent labeling reagent for proteins. Used in the fluorescent antibody technique for rapid identification of pathogens.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
