    Product Description

    HPF is a cell-permeable aromatic amino-fluorescein derivative that has little intrinsic fluorescence.1 It undergoes oxidation only by highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) such as the hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrite, and hROS generated from a peroxidase/H2O2 system. It is inert to hypochlorite ion, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide, and other oxidants. Upon oxidation, HPF is converted to the highly fluorescent molecule fluorescein, with excitation/emission maxima of 490/515 nm, respectively, allowing the simple direct detection of highly reactive biological radicals.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
