Carboxyfluorescein refers to two fluorescent dyes with an excitation and emission of 492/517 nm, respectively. They are commonly used as a tracer agents. The dyes are membrane-impermeant and can be loaded into cells by microinjection or scrape loading.^[1] It can be incorporated into liposomes, and allow for the tracking of liposomes as they pass through the body. In addition, carboxyfluorescein has been used to track division of cells.^[2]
