Don't be so negative. We have synthesized new dichlorofluorescein derivatives that are less negatively charged than fluorescein. The synthesis is concise and scalable, and the compounds are conjugation-ready. In addition, these compounds permeate zebrafish embryos; this suggests that they might be useful fluorescent probes for bioimaging.
