Handbook of Fluorescent Dyes and Probes is a standard reference handbook for all those who use fluorescent dyes and probes used in biology, chemistry, histology, cytology, medicine, microscopy and all the color, agriculture, clinical, environmental, electronic, imaging, and medical fields. It includes all fluorescent dyes & probes known to date and provides a complete, up-to-date library of information in a reference/handbook. The more than 300 fluorescent dyes & probes are organized alphabetically by the commonly used Chemical Name and is the first book that includes a CAS Registry Number, Chemical Structure, Chemical Abstract (CA) Index Name, Other Chemical Names, Merck Index Number, Chemical/Dye Class, Molecular Formula, Molecular Weight, Physical Form, Solubility, Melting Point, Boiling Point, pH Range, Color Change at pH, pKa, Absorption Spectra, Emission Spectra and Molar Extinction Coefficient of fluorescent dyes and probes in one single source. Handbook of Fluorescent Dyes and Probes also provides access to synthesis procedures (lab scale and industrial scale) of fluorescent dyes & probes and is the first book to provide references on safety, toxicity and adverse effects of fluorescent dyes and probes on humans, animals, and the environment.
