Application

The succinimidyl ester group is capable of spontaneously and irreversibly binding to free amines. Utilized in flow cytometry experiments for tracking cell division in both mammalian cells and bacteria. Used in combination with several cell permeabilizers as an effective, nondestructive fluorescencent stain to quickly detect bacterial cells.

Other Notes

Reagent for continuously determining the intracellular pH in bacteria by fluorometry; labeling human intervertebral disk cells in vitro for fluorescence microscopy

We have assessed the utility of an intracellular fluorochrome, 5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE), as a tracking label for human intervertebral disc cells in vitro. Although 5 microM provides adequate intracellular labeling for whole cell fluorescent microscopic identification of labeled

A novel method based on the intracellular conjugation of the fluorescent probe 5 (and 6-)-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (cFSE) was developed to determine the intracellular pH of bacteria. cFSE can be taken up by bacteria in the form of its diacetate
