Application
Dextran labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate for possible use in perfusion studies in animals.
FITC-dextran is used extensively in microcirculation and cell permeability research utilizing microfluorimetry. FITC-dextran has been used to study plant cell wall porosity and capillary permeability. Plasma proteins have been shown not to bind to FITC-dextran.
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
Fluorescein isothiocyanate–dextran (FITC-Dextran 4) is use as a fluorescent probe to study cell permeability. FITC-Dextran 4 is used with to study permeability of epithelial cell such as intestinal and renal cells in vivo.

Are there any fluorescent hydrophobic substitutes of similar size to FITC dextran (4,000 amu) available, considering regular dextran lacks fluorescence and is hydrophilic?
1 answer-
There is only one dextran conjugated with a hydrophobic fluorescent dye. The TRITC dextran, T4037, has an average dextran weight of 4,400 amu and TRITC is slightly more hydrophobic than FITC.
