General description

5-(and-6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is a fluorescent dye, which is membrane permeable. It labels cells by covalently binding to intracellular molecules. CFSE is used to track lymphocyte migration and proliferation.

Application

5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is an amine reactive fluorescent probe used to stain cells, especially immune cells, for analysis in applications such as flow cytometry. Forms green fluorescent conjugates on deacetylation.
5-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester has been used:
  • to label cells for flow cytometry
  • in lymphocyte proliferation assay
  • to determine the intracellular or intra-organellar pH in chloroplasts
  • to label Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania major

Amine-reactive label for long term tracing of cells. Forms green fluorescent conjugates on deacetylation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester is used as an indicator for esterase activity.

Packaging

  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. At what concentration is Product 21888, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester, soluble in DMSO?

    We have found 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester to be soluble in DMSO at a concentration of 1 mg/mL.

  4. What is the ratio between the (5) and (6) isomer of Product 21888, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester?

    Our Quality Control group does not routinely report the ratio; however, it is very likely that both isomers are present.

  5. Is Product 21888, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester, light sensitive?

    Yes. The powder and solutions (especially solutions) should be kept protected from ambient light whenever possible.

  6. Is Product 21888, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester, fluorescent? Are conjugates of this compound fluorescent?

    No. This compound and conjugates of this compound become fluorescent only when acted upon by an enzyme such as esterase. The enzyme removes the acetate groups.
