Application

Dextran labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate for possible use in perfusion studies in animals.
FITC-dextran is used in cardiovascular, microcirculation, perfusion, cell monolayer and cell membrane permeability research as fluorescent flux tracer compound that supports the measurement of processes such as blood flow, membrane damage, vascular drainage and renal elimination.[1] Small FITC-dextrans are also used to measure processes such as endocytosis and cell junction permeability.[2] FITC-dextran 70 kDa (FD-70) may be used as a model compound for development of methods to deliver molecules into protoplasts and to study drug release from structures such as hydrogels and liposomes. FD-70 may be used in microvascular and cell monolayer permeability studies.[3]

Linkage

Similar to FD-70, but produced by Sigma.

Dextran is a polymer of anhydroglucose. It is composed of approximately 95% alpha-D-(166) linkages. The remaining (163) linkages account for the branching of dextran.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. Is this dextran lysine-fixable?

    1 answer
    1. This product is not considered lysine-fixable. The material would have to be chemically treated in order to be suitable. Typically, dextrans used to prepare lysine-fixable products are anionic (see product 90718). Should it be of interest, product B9139 is a Biotin-dextran, lysine-fixable product option.

  2. How long would a diluted stock (i.e. 5 mg/mL) be stable for at 4C?

    1 answer
    1. The long term solution stability of this product has not been determined. Solutions should be protected from light. Per literature references, FITC-Dextran is stable in vivo for more than 24 hours. Please see the link below for additional information.
