Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Fluorescein is more pH-sensitive than Rhodamine dyes.
- INTRODUCTION Fluorescein is useful as a presumptive searching reagent for latent bloodstains.
- Now, because this ratio (15%) does not change when there is more or less fluorescein around, we can always know exactly how much fluorescein is in the FL2 channel based on measuring the FL1 channel (it is always 15% of the FL1 channel).
- Nursing mothers should be cautioned that fluorescein is also excreted in human milk.
- Sodium fluorescein is a protein dye, so some caution is required in its use within the living body.
