Description
Fluorescein dye is the most commonly used fluorescent probe. It is used to stain epithelial defects and analyse the integrity of corneal epithelium. Fluorescein is used in the diagnosis of corneal perforation. Oral or intravenous fluorescein is used in fluorescein angiography to detect diabetic retinopathy and choroidal neovascular membrane.
Application
in the permeability assay of Caco-2 cells
to test its suitability to serve as lifetime fluorescence standards
as a fluorophore for the fast recovery of fluorescence peaks and fluorophore concentration in the presence of hemoglobin
as a fluorescent probe in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay
