Description
- Product Overview: FITC-DEAE-dextrans are diethylaminoethyl-modified dextrans conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), providing a green-fluorescent, cationic polysaccharide ideal for studies of electrostatic interactions, molecular complexation, and cellular uptake. Their positive charge, combined with bright fluorescence, makes FITC-DEAE-dextrans valuable tools in cell biology, drug delivery research, and membrane permeability studies.
- Features:
- Stable Green Fluorescence: Excitation at 495 nm and emission at 519 nm, compatible with standard FITC detection systems.
- Positive Surface Charge: DEAE-modification imparts a strong cationic character, supporting binding to negatively charged membranes, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- Water-Soluble and Biocompatible: Soluble in aqueous solutions, ready for immediate use in biological experiments.
- Available in Multiple Molecular Weights: Offered in different sizes to suit applications involving cellular transport, binding studies, and permeability analysis.
- Controlled Labeling: Manufactured under tight specifications to maintain optimal fluorescence intensity and reproducibility between batches.
- Benefits:
- Supports Cellular Uptake Studies: Cationic charge enhances uptake by endocytosis, useful for modeling drug delivery and nanoparticle entry into cells.
- Ideal for Electrostatic Binding Research: Facilitates investigation of interactions between positively charged polymers and anionic biological targets.
- Useful in Membrane Permeability Models: Applied to study transport and binding behavior at biological barriers, including epithelial and endothelial layers.
- Bright and Reliable Detection: FITC labeling provides a strong, standardized signal suitable for microscopy, flow cytometry, and plate-based assays.
- Flexible Application Range: Used across research fields including cell biology, biophysics, drug delivery, and materials science.
- Applications:
- Cellular Uptake and Endocytosis Studies: Traces the internalization pathways of cationic macromolecules in live cells.
- Electrostatic Interaction Studies: Used to model binding between charged biomolecules and surfaces.
- Barrier Permeability Research: Assesses transport behavior across polarized cell layers and tissue models.
- Drug Delivery System Modeling: Simulates the behavior of cationic carriers in biological systems for targeted delivery applications.
- Surface Coating and Modification Studies: Investigates how positively charged molecules interact with functionalized materials and biosurfaces.
- Technical Specifications:
- Fluorescence: Excitation maximum at 495 nm, emission maximum at 519 nm.
- Molecular Weights: Available in standard dextran sizes modified with DEAE groups; specific molecular weights tailored to application needs.
- Appearance: Light-sensitive, greenish dry powder, readily soluble in water.
- Charge Density: Strong positive charge due to DEAE functionalization supporting binding to anionic targets.
- Storage and Stability:
- Store dry, protected from light, at 2°C to 8°C to maintain fluorescence and functionality.
- Stable under recommended conditions for extended storage without significant loss of performance.
- Packaging and Availability:
- Supplied as dry powder for long-term stability and ease of handling.
- Available in a variety of pack sizes to support both small research projects and larger studies.
