 Product Information 
 
 NBD-DFO is the fluorescent analogue of the siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFO), coupled to Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD). NBD-DFO is a highly-specific Fe3+ hydroxamate incicator/chelator(1-3). Its fluorescence is quenched by Fe3+ ions. The lipophilic siderophore, which demonstrates excellent permeation across membranes was used for detecting iron ions in cell-free systems, for recording the transport of iron into microorganisms and plants, for detecting pathogenic microorganisms and for monitoring Fe3+ mobilization from cells.

 Considerations for Use 
 
 The product is used as a fluorescence marker/indicator or chelator for Fe3+ in biological samples, especially to study iron uptake by plants. The dye is fluorescent only when unferrated and can thus be used as a probe to follow iron removal from the sideophore. 1-5 mM stock solutions of NBD-DFO in DMSO can be prepared and aliquots should kept at -20°C. When stored properly at -20°C, the solutions can be used for at least 2 - 3 months. Attention: avoid any contact with metallic surfaces!
