About fluorescent probes and labels

Fluorescent probes and labels make molecules, cells and processes visible under the microscope, in flow cytometry and in plate readers. The group includes classic fluorophores such as fluorescein, FITC, rhodamines, coumarins and BODIPY dyes, cyanine dyes such as Cy3 and Cy5 type dyes, nucleic acid stains such as DAPI, propidium iodide and ethidium bromide, ion indicators for calcium and pH, membrane potential probes, fluorogenic enzyme substrates, and reactive labelling reagents such as NHS esters and maleimides.

Life science researchers, diagnostic developers and drug discovery groups use these products in small amounts, often milligrams, so price per milligram can be high. The right probe depends on excitation and emission wavelengths, brightness, photostability, cell permeability and compatibility with other labels in a multiplex experiment.

Ask for purity by HPLC, absorption and emission maxima, extinction coefficient, quantum yield where known, solubility, the reactive group and its activity, and storage conditions, since many probes are light sensitive. Some well-known probe names are trademarks, so compare products by chemical structure and spectra. Ethidium bromide and some other stains are mutagenic and need careful handling.
