2,7-Dichlorofluorescein

2',7'-Dichloro-3',6'-dihydroxyspiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9'-[9H]xanthen]-3-one; 2',7'-Dichloro-3,6-fluorandiol

Fluorophore used in biological assays and for labeling cells and tissues.

2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein (DCF) is a fluorescent dye that is commonly used to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are important in various biological processes. DCF is an analog of fluorescein and contains two chlorine atoms located at the 2' and 7' positions. The presence of these chlorine atoms makes DCF much less polar than fluorescein, making it more lipophilic and readily able to penetrate cell membranes. DCF has been widely used in various scientific applications, including biological research, environmental monitoring, and materials science.
