Description
A fluorescent and colorimetric probe for the detection of ferric iron; fluoresces upon iron binding; ex/em = 534/550-700 nm; emits fluorescence at 588 nm in the presence of ferric iron but not ferrous iron or in a panel of 11 additional cations and 10 anions; exhibits a visual shift from colorless to pink upon addition of ferric iron to aqueous solutions or live cells, which can be detected colorimetrically
