Tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) is a red-orange fluorescent dye, commonly used in biological and medical research. It is a derivative of [[Rhodamine|rhodamine]], a family of synthetic dyes known for their intense fluorescence. TRITC is particularly noted for its use as a labeling agent in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, where it is used to tag proteins and other biomolecules for visualization and tracking. | Tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) is a red-orange fluorescent dye, commonly used in biological and medical research.
