6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate is a chemically reduced, acetylated form of fluorescein used as an indicator for reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. This nonfluorescent molecule is readily converted to a green-fluorescent form when the acetate groups are removed by intracellular esterases and oxidation (by the activity of ROS) occurs within the cell. We offer the carboxylated H2DCFDA analog (carboxy-H2DCFDA, C400), which has two negative charges at physiological pH, and its di(acetoxymethyl ester) (C2938). Upon cleavage of the acetate and ester groups by intracellular esterases and oxidation, both analogs form carboxydichlorofluorescein (C368), with additional negative charges that impede its leakage out of the cell.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
It has been done. The problem is that plate readers are less sensitive than microscopes, with far less signal-to-background difference. It is worth trying, but first optimize concentrations and loading times with control cells, use a plate with little to no autofluorescence, and possibly optimize the gain setting in order to get the best signal possible. But don't expect the same sensitivity, even with optimization.

This is not recommended as the two dyes overlap in the emission wavelength. There are other ROS reagents available in different wavelengths, such as CellROX Deep Red, which emits in the far-red range (665 nm), or dihydroethidium, which is emits in the visible red range (620 nm).

If the cell is overloaded with dye, the high intracellular concentration of the dye may lead to dye-dye quenching. Upon illumination, photobleaching will occur, which will reduce the dye-dye quenching and actually increase the fluorescence (for a while, but then it will start decreasing). To solve the problem, reduce the concentration and incubation time, and try a range of incubation times and concentrations.

H2DCFDA and similar derivatives are not fixable. The same goes for dihydroethidium and dihydrorhodamine. However, CellROX Deep Red and CellROX Green are retained for a limited time upon fixation with formaldehyde. CellROX Green may be retained upon subsequent Triton X-100 permeabilization. Avoid the use of any acetone or alcohol-based fixatives or fixatives that include alcohol, such as formalin.

Abstract
N-acetylcysteine augments the cellular redox changes and cytotoxic activity of internalized mycobacterium bovis in human bladder cancer cells.
Journal:J Urol
PubMed ID:12131368
PURPOSE: We determined whether changes in cellular reactive oxygen species correlated with mycobacteria internalization and bladder cancer cell death. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Reactive oxygen species and thiols in RT112 and MGH bladder cancer cells were determined using the fluorescence probes 5-(and 6)-carboxy-2', 7' dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and monobromobimane. Superoxide and nitrite

'1. Glibenclamide, a sulphonylurea widely used for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, has been shown to inhibit the activities of various ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:14701806
'We identified VTA1 in a screen for mutations that result in altered vacuole morphology. Deletion of VTA1 resulted in delayed trafficking of the lipophilic dye FM4-64 to the vacuole and altered vacuolar morphology when cells were exposed to the dye 5-(and 6)-carboxy-2'',7''-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (CDCFDA). Deletion of class E vacuolar protein
