fluorescein isothiocyanate

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is a fluorescent dye used in biological research and medical diagnostics. It can attach to specific molecules or cells, making them glow under special light. This allows scientists and doctors to visually track and examine structures like proteins, cells, or tissues with high precision. FITC's glowing property helps in understanding biological processes, diagnosing diseases, or confirming the presence of certain substances. It is widely used because it creates a bright, stable fluorescence and can be linked to various biological components efficiently.
