| Application: | Eosin-5-maleimide has been used as a fluorescent probe for the human erythrocyte band 3 protein. It is widely used as a diagnostic probe for the laboratory detection of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) by flow cytometry. The eosin-5-maleimide binding test was done to analyze the effect of alectinib (first line of treatment) for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). |
| General description: | 5-Maleimido-eosin, also known as EMA or Eosin-5-maleimide, is a fluorescent binding agent. The 5-Maleimido-eosin binding test measures the EMA-labeled cells reduced mean channel fluorescence (MCF) reading. |
| Other Notes: | Triplet probe. Measurement of rotational diffusion of protein in solution and in membranes, including myosin and pyruvate dehydrogenase |
