Phen Green SK diacetate (5/6-mixture) is a metal ion-sensitive fluorescent probe capable of penetrating cell membranes. It reacts with various metal ions, including Fe2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+. When it chelates Fe2+, fluorescence quenching occurs, which can be restored by adding a membrane-permeable chelator, making it suitable for reflecting changes in the intracellular chelatable iron pool.
