Product Information
| Description: | DFO (1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one) is a fluorescent dye forming highly fluorescent derivatives with amino acids (excitation ~470 nm; emission ~570 nm). Used for the detection of latent fingerprints on paper with high sensitivity. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
