Product Description: FITC-Dextran (MW 1000) is a compound that belongs to the class of fluorescent dyes. It is often used as a tracer molecule in biomedical research to label and track cells or other biological substances. FITC-Dextran consists of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and dextran, a complex carbohydrate extracted from starch. The combination of the two creates a stable fluorescent tracer that can be observed under a microscope or quantified using specialized detection instruments.
