Handbook of Fluorescent Dyes and Probes

A COMPLETE, UP–TO–DATE RESOURCE OF INFORMATION ON MORE THAN 150 FLUORESCENT DYES AND PROBES Handbook of Fluorescent Dyes and Probes is the most comprehensive volume available on the subject, covering all the available dyes and probes known to date in the literature for uses in various fields. Top dye expert Dr. Ram Sabnis organizes the compounds alphabetically by the most commonly used chemical name. He presents an easy–to–use reference complete with novel ideas for breakthrough research in medical, biological, chemical, color, material, physical and related allied fields. The ease of use of the handbook is further enhanced by various appendixes provided at the end of the book to conveniently and easily locate the dye as per the reader’s need. This is the first book to give the CAS registry numbers, chemical structure, Chemical Abstract (CA) index name, all other chemical names, Merck Index number, chemical/dye class, molecular formula, molecular weight, physical form, solubility, melting point, boiling point, pKa, absorption maxima, emission maxima, molar extinction coefficient, and quantum yield of fluorescent dyes and probes, as well as to provide access to synthetic procedures (lab scale and industrial scale) of dyes and probes in a single source. This user–friendly handbook also features references on safety, toxicity and adverse effects of dyes and probes on humans, animals and the environment, including: acute/chronic toxicity                        microbial toxicity aquatic toxicity                                  mutagenicity carcinogenicity                                   nephrotoxicity cytotoxicity                                         neurotoxicity ecotoxicity                                          nucleic acid damage genotoxocity                                       oral toxicity hematotoxicity                                   phototoxicity hepatotoxicity                                   phytotoxicity immunotoxicity                                  reproductive toxicity marine toxicity                                   skin toxicity Containing imaging/labeling applications, biological/medical applications and industrial applications, Handbook of Fluorescent Dyes and Probes is a convenient, vital resource for industrial and academic researchers, and a valuable desktop reference for medical professionals, lab supervisors, scientists, chemists, biologists, engineers, physicists, intellectual property professionals, students, and professors. RAM W. SABNIS, PhD, is a registered Patent Agent with U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) and is also the inventor of more than fifty U.S. and international patents (issued/published). He is one of the world’s foremost experts on dyes, inventing the world’s first colored bubbles (non–staining) and color changing dye system with many applications. He has more than twenty–five years of industrial and academic research experience in dye chemistry and more than 150 publications, which include books, book chapters, encyclopedia chapters, patents, reviews, papers, and symposia presentations. Dr. Sabnis is the recipient of the Perkin Innovation Award, Grand Innovation Award, Competitive Spirit Award, and Best Doctoral Thesis Award. He has written two books on color chemistry, namely, “ Handbook of Biological Dyes and Stains ” and “ Handbook of Acid–Base Indicators. ”
