Cellufluor (Cat.No:I024359) is a fluorescent dye used to label and visualize cell wall carbohydrates in various organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants. It specifically binds to β-1,3-glucans, which are essential components of fungal and bacterial cell walls. Cellufluor is commonly used in research to study cell wall biosynthesis, morphogenesis, and dynamics. It can also be used for diagnostic purposes to identify fungal infections in clinical specimens.
