Description

General description

A photo-stable nitric oxide (NO) fluorescent indicator with a detection limit of ~3 nM. Reacts with NO in the presence of O₂, resulting in a triazolo-fluorescein analog (DAF-FM T) that exhibits about 160-fold greater fluorescence quantum efficiency. The fluorescence intensity is reported to be stable above pH 5.8.

A photo-stable nitric oxide (NO) fluorescent indicator with a detection limit of ~3 nM. Reacts with NO, in the presence of oxygen, resulting in the formation of a triazolo-fluorescein analog (DAF-FM T) that exhibits about 160-fold greater fluorescence quantum efficiency. The fluorescence intensity is reported to be stable above pH 5.8. Excitation max.: ~500 nm; emission max.: ~515 nm.
