Fluorescein has a pKa value of 6.4, and excitation / emission maxima at 492
/ 516 nm respectively. At pH 6.2 its fluorescence will not be dramatically
reduced vs. fluorescence at pH 7.4.
Molecular Probes, Inc. recently developed a series of fluorescein analogs
with lower pKa values and increased photostability.
These will become commercially available in the fall of this year.
