WHAT DOES FLUORESCEIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fluorescein

Fluorescein

Fluorescein is a synthetic organic compound available as a dark orange/red powder slightly soluble in water and alcohol. It is widely used as a fluorescent tracer for many applications. Fluorescein is a fluorophore commonly used in microscopy, in a type of dye laser as the gain medium, in forensics and serology to detect latent blood stains, and in dye tracing. Fluorescein has an absorption maximum at 494 nm and emission maximum of 521 nm. The major derivatives are fluorescein isothiocyanate and, in oligonucleotide synthesis, 6-FAM phosphoramidite. Fluorescein also has an isosbestic point at 460 nm. Fluorescein is also known as a color additive. The disodium salt form of fluorescein is known as uranine or D&C Yellow no. 8. The color of its aqueous solution varies from green to orange as a function of the way it is observed: by reflection or by transmission, as it can be noticed in bubble levels in which fluorescein is added as a colorant to the alcohol filling the tube to increase the visibility of the air bubble and the precision of the instrument. More concentrated solutions of fluorescein can even appear red.

Definition of fluorescein in the English dictionary

The definition of fluorescein in the dictionary is an orange-red crystalline compound that in aqueous solution exhibits a greenish-yellow fluorescence in reflected light and is reddish-orange in transmitted light: used as a marker in sea water and as an indicator. Formula: C20H12O5.
