Invitrogen™ 5-CFDA, AM (5-Carboxyfluorescein Diacetate, Acetoxymethyl Ester)

A cell-permeant esterase substrate that can serve as a viability probe

Brand:  Invitrogen™ C1354

Product Code. 11534227

Description

• Measures both enzymatic activity, which is require to activate its fluorescence, and cell-membrane integrity, which is required for intracellular retention of their fluorescent product
• Electronically neutral AM ester of CFDA can be loaded into cells at lower concentrations than CFDA
• Upon hydrolysis by intracellular esterases, this AM ester also yields carboxyfluorescein: As compared with fluorescein, carboxyfluorescein contains extra negative charges and is therefore better retained in cells
