Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission under UV light. Its structure allows it to bind selectively to certain biomolecules, making it useful in detecting protein interactions and conformational changes. Also employed in the development of sensors for monitoring pH and metal ions in solution. The compound’s stability and high quantum yield make it suitable for imaging in live cells and in vitro assays. Additionally, it serves as a derivatizing agent for amines and sulfhydryl groups in chromatographic detection methods.
