Fluorescein Sodium Salt (C.I. 45350) Extra Pure 100 gram

Fluorescein is an organic dye that is frequently used in various applications, including medicine, biology and industrial research. It is known for its fluorescent properties, which means that the light can absorb and then radiate again in a different wavelength. In medicine, fluorescein is often used as a dye for diagnosing eye problems. For example, it is used to assess the tear film and to detect the presence of damage to the cornea. By dripping a small amount of fluorescein in the eyes, a doctor or eye specialist can follow the dye using a special lamp. As a result, any deviations or damage to the eye surface can be identified. In addition, fluorescein is also used in biology for marking and visualizing different structures and processes. For example, it can be used to detect the presence of certain proteins or molecules in cells. By linking fluorescein to a specific antibody or another molecule, it can be used as a marker to identify specific cells or structures under a fluorescence microscope. In the industry, fluorescein is used as a dye for different applications, such as coloring textiles, paper and plastics. It is also used as a tracer in water and air flow investigations, where it helps to identify leaks or follow the flow of liquids or gases. Although fluorescein is generally considered safe, there are some precautions that must be taken when it applies. It is important to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes, because it can cause irritation. When eyes exposing, the eye must be thoroughly flushed with clean water and medical help must be sought if necessary. It is also recommended to wear gloves when handling fluorescein to prevent skin irritation. Moreover, fluorescein must be stored safely, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. It must be stored in well -sealed containers in a cool and dry place. In short, fluorescein is a versatile dye that is used in various applications, ranging from medical diagnosis to biological research and industrial applications. It offers a valuable tool for visualizing and marking different structures and processes. However, when using fluorescein, it is important to take the necessary safety measures to prevent irritation and unwanted exposure.
