| Bioactivity | 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5(6)-FAM) is an amine-reactive pH-sensitive green fluorescent probe. 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5(6)-FAM) can be used to label proteins, peptides and nucleotides. 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein can be used for the detection of tumour areas in vivo[1][2]. Storage: protect from light. |
| Invitro | 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein has two main characteristics: it has two wavelengths of maximum absorbance (465 and 490 nm) and its fluorescence emission (maximum, 515 nm) increases as a function of pH in the physiological pH range of 6-7.4[2]. |
| In Vivo | 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5 mg/kg; i.p.) can be used for in vivo pH mapping of tumor tissue[2]. Animal Model: |
