DAF-2 is a sensitive and specific fluorescent indicator for the direct detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro. In the presence of oxygen, the relatively non-fluorescent DAF-2 reacts rapidly with NO to yield the highly fluorescent triazolofluorescein compound. DAF-2 can detect NO under neutral conditions (detection limit = 5 nM).A sensitive and specific fluorescent indicator for the direct detection of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro. Fluorescent detector of nitric oxide in culture medium, tissue sections and biopsy cells
