Lucigenin is a blue-green fluorescent chloride ion indicator that is more sensitive and selective than 36Cl and microelectrode-based methods for chloride measurement in cells. Lucigenin is a fluorescent indicator that is quenched via collision with chloride. The probe is suitable for detection of chloride concentrations in liposomes, reconstituted membranes or in extracellular medium. Lucigenin may also be used as a chemiluminescent probe for the detection of superoxide in biological systems. Wavelength Maxima: Excitation 455nm, Emission 505nm
