CytoTrace Green CMFDA

CytoTrace Green CMFDA (Ex-Max 499 nm/Em-Max 514 nm)

CytoTrace Green CMFDA is chloromethyl (CM) derivitive of fluorescein diacetate which loads passively into live cells where its retained by the action of intracellular esterases. The chloromethyl crosslinks with intracellular thiol side chains for a moderate level of retention.
