Application

Dextran labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate for possible use in perfusion studies in animals.
Fluorescein isothiocyanate–dextran (FITC-Dextran 70) is use as a fluorescent probe to study cell processes such as cell permeability, phagocytosis and endocytosis and to study mechanisms of biomolecular delivery. FITC-Dextran 70 may be used to study the capacity, selectivity and efficiency of encapsulation and release by drug delivery vehicles.

Questions

  1. Is this product fixable?

    1 answer

    1. Yes, paraformaldehyde can be used to fix cells. In normal circumstances, formaldehyde is a cross-linking fixative that is used to fix protein and DNA.

      Looking at formaldehyde fixation, the following are applicable:
      Formaldehyde cross-links with the amino group of the N-terminal amino acid residue and the side chains of 12:
      Arginine
      Cysteine
      Histidine
      Lysine
      Depending on the peptide sequence, methylol groups, Schiff-bases, and methylene bridges were form

      Please note that although the term paraformaldehyde is used, paraformaldehyde exists only as a solid. Once the bonds of the polymer are broken, solutions contain only formaldehyde. Any paraformaldehyde in the solution would simply be an undissolved precipitate at the bottom of the solution.
