Product Specification
FORMULA: C24H16O7Cl2
MW: 487.3
CAS NUMBER: 4091-99-0
PURITY: ≥95%
APPEARANCE: White to off-white solid.
SOLUBILITY: 25mg/ml soluble in DMSO, 100% ethanol or dimethyl formamide; sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers.
SHIPPING: SHIPPED ON BLUE ICE
LONG TERM STORAGE: -20°C
USE/STABILITY: Stock solution in organic solvents is stable for at least 6 months if stored at -20°C. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, dissolve directly in 0.1M disodium carbonate (7.7mg/ml) and then immediately diluted with PBS, pH 7.2, to the desired concentration or pH. Upon neutralization of the solution the concentration may not be greater than 1mg/ml. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.

Product Description
Cell permeable, sensitive indicator of peroxynitrite formation. After hydrolysis of the diacetate groups by cytosolic esterases or base-catalyzed cleavage of the diacetate groups, DCDHF is oxidized by peroxynitrite to the highly fluorescent product dichlorofluorescein (DCF). Formation of DCF can be monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy (Ex(max): 502nm, Em(max): 523nm), or by absorbance spectroscopy at 500nm (ε=79,500M-1cm-1). Neither nitric oxide, superoxide nor hydrogen peroxide alone appear to oxidize DCDHF.
