| Description | 5-CFDA-AM is a cell-permeable esterase substrate employed as an active probe to assess enzyme activity and cell membrane integrity. Electroneutral and capable of entering cells at concentrations lower than CFDA, it undergoes intracellular hydrolysis by esterases, generating carboxyfluorescein, which possesses an extra negative charge, allowing for improved cellular retention [1]. |
