ICAAc is a solvatochromic fluorescent pH probe. As the polarity of the solvent increases, the emission wavelength of ICAAc increases. It displays excitation/emission maxima of 466/553, 431/515, and 418/503 nm in water, dioxane, and hexane, respectively. The absorption maximum of ICAAc decreases with increasing pH. It displays absorption/emission maxima of 470/554 and 428/553 nm at pH 3 and 11, respectively, in aqueous Britton-Robinson buffer, and the fluorescence intensity increases as pH decreases. ICAAc can be used for live cell applications.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
