FITC-Dextran (MW 20000) is a compound belonging to the class of fluorescent dyes. It is commonly used in biomedical research as a tracer molecule to label and track cells or other biological matter. FITC-Dextran consists of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and dextran, a complex carbohydrate derived from starch. The combination of the two creates a stable fluorescent tracer that can be viewed under a microscope or quantified using specialized detection instruments.

Description	FITC-Dextran (MW 20000) is a compound belonging to the class of fluorescent dyes. It is commonly used in biomedical research as a tracer molecule to label and track cells or other biological matter. FITC-Dextran consists of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and dextran, a complex carbohydrate derived from starch. The combination of the two creates a stable fluorescent tracer that can be viewed under a microscope or quantified using specialized detection instruments.
In Vitro	FITC-Dextran (MW 20000) is a fluorescent probe for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran (Ex=495 nm; Em=525 nm). FITC-Dextran (MW 20000) can be used as a marker to reveal heat shock-induced cell damage and to study the early and late stages of apoptosis. FITC-Dextran (MW 20000) can also be used for cell permeability studies, such as blood-brain barrier permeability and determination of the extent of blood-brain barrier disruption^[1]^[2]^[3].
