1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran is used as a fluorescent probe for detection of superoxide anion radical (O2-) inside the membrane lipid layer by DPBF fluorescence quenching method. It is used as quencher during the photo inactivation of TA-3 mouse mammary carcinoma cells containing hematoporphyrin. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran is used to study the single crystal molecular structure and solution photophysical properties of DPBF.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
