Structure
Polysucrose is a polymer synthesised by cross-linking sucrose with epichlorohydrin. FITC-Polysucrose is prepared by reacting polysucrose with FITC under similar conditions to those used for FITC-dextrans. Polysucrose has a more spherical structure and is less flexible compared to dextran
Spectral data
FITC-polysucrose has an excitation maximum of 493 and an emission maximum at 523 nm at pH 9.
Storage and stability
FITC-polysucrose is stable for more than 6 years when stored dry in well-sealed containers at ambient temperature.
Solubility
FITC-polysucrose dissolves readily in water.
Application
FITC-polysucrose is mainly used for studying permeability and microcirculation. Due to its spherical structure, it is often used for studies of glomerular filtration. Read more about applications here.
