General description
It is widely used to attach a fluorescent label to proteins via the amine group. The isothiocyanate group reacts with amino terminal and primary amines in proteins. It has been used for the labeling of proteins including antibodies and lectins.
Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I has been proposed as a contact sensitizer.
Application
Biological applications include use as a fluorescent labeling reagent for proteins, a fluorescent reagent for protein tracing, and a reagent in the fluorescent antibody technique for the rapid identification of pathogens. It may be employed as the derivatization reagent for amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine and P-phenylethylamine in human urine during their capillary electrophoretic (CE) determination. It may be used for the preparation of fluorescent antibodies. It was employed for in vitro sensitization studies.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.

After the FITC (e.g., Product No. F7250) is conjugated to the protein, what is the solution stability of the conjugated protein?
The stability of the conjugated protein will be essentially the stability of the unconjugated protein. Some conjugated proteins might be stable when stored at -20°C and other conjugated proteins will have better solution stability at 2-8°C If the protein concentration is too low, this also has a negative effect upon the stability of the conjugated protein.
Is Product No. F7250, Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I, pharmaceutical grade?
No. The product is considered suitable for research use only.
How stable is FITC Isomer 1 (e.g., Product No. F7250) once conjugated to an antibody?
FITC can photo bleach fairly rapidly. The prepared solution should be stored in a dark container and protected from light. When viewing the antibody staining under a microscope, it is advisable to use subdued fluorescent light when possible. If the fluorescent light stays at one position for too long, photo bleaching is noticeable.
Is the intensity of FITC (e.g., Product No. F7250) pH dependent?
Yes; many articles have reported the pH dependence of the fluorescence of fluorescein derivatives. See the following references: Archives Biochem. Biophys., 133, 263 (1969); J. Immunol., 95, 1165 (1966); Archives Biochem. Biophys., 73, 1 (1958); Standard test for labeling efficiency of FITC with BSA: NCCLS Approved Standard: ASM-1, 2nd ed., June, 1975; Characterization of FITC-dyes by IR and TLC: Analytical Biochem., 29, 526 (1969); Fluorescent labeling of proteins: Proc.
