BODIPY FL prazosin is a potent α1-adrenergic antagonist that inhibits both α1a-AR and α1b-AR. BODIPY FL prazosin is a fluorescent ligand (λEx (nm)/ λEm (nm): 485/535) that is often used in conjunction with flow cytometry or confocal laser scanning microscopy to study α1-adrenergic subtypes and cell imaging. cellular imaging.

Fluo-3 and its derivative, Fluo3/AM, serve as fluorescent indicators for intracellular calcium (Ca2+), facilitating detection through flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy with visible light excitation (compatible with argon laser sources at 488 nm). Upon binding to calcium, these compounds exhibit a fluorescence intensity increase of approximately 40-fold.

Direct Red 80 (Sirius Red) is a tetra azo dye. It can be used to detect amyloid and can magnify the usual birefringence of collagen fibers in tissue sections.
