Name: D-infraluciferin methyl ester
Bioflares catalogue number: BFRSILH201
Description: Dual colour far-red to near-infrared emitting bioluminescence substrate. D-infraluciferin methyl ester allows bioscientists to simultaneously image and track two biological life or disease processes in whole living animals using dual paramater near-infrared bioluminescence imaging. Analogue of firefly luciferin (CAS number 2591-17-5). For laboratory R&D use only (not for humans)
Synonyms: Infra-luciferin, Infra luciferin, iLH2
