ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a compound of formula (I) wherein each of X1and X2are independently NH—A—NR1R2, and wherein A is A C2-8alkylene and R1and R2are independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4alkyl, C2-4hydroxy-alkyl and C2-4aminoalkyl, or R1and R2together form a C2-6alkylene group which with the nitrogen atom to which R1and R2are attached forms a heterocyclic ring, or an N-oxide derivative thereof, and wherein the compound (I) or its N-oxide derivative is optionally in the form of an acid salt derived from an organic or inorganic acid. Also disclosed is a method of its production and its uses, including its use in analyzing a cell or biological material and detecting the emitted fluorescence signal.
