Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
DAF-2 is a sensitive and specific fluorescent indicator for the direct detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro. In the presence of oxygen, the relatively non-fluorescent DAF-2 reacts rapidly with NO to yield the highly fluorescent triazolofluorescein compound. DAF-2 can detect NO under neutral conditions (detection limit = 5 nM). A sensitive and specific fluorescent indicator for the direct detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthenes. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a xanthene moiety, which consists of two benzene rings joined to each other by a pyran ring.
