H2DCFDA (DCFH-DA) is a cell-permeable probe used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Ex/Em=488/525 nm)^[1].

Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. H2DCFDA is dissolved in DMSO to obtain a 10 mM stock solutions and further diluted before use.
2. Cells are incubated with 5 µM H2DCFDA solution in PBS in the dark for 30 min at 37°C, then harvested with 0.05% trypsin-EDTA solution, suspended in a fresh medium, and immediately analyzed with flow cytometer.
3. Along with the H2DCFDA probe, if indicated, use ROS-insensitive modification of the fluorescein dye DCFDA as a positive control. The staining procedure is the same as for the H2DCFDA^[1].

ROS Measurements^[1]
For the detection of intracellular ROS level ,ROS-sensitive probe H2DCFDA is used. Adherent cells (ESCs, difESCs, eMSCs, HeLa, U118) are incubated with 5 µM staining solution in PBS in the dark for 30 min at 37°C, then harvested with 0.05% trypsin-EDTA solution, suspended in a fresh medium, and immediately analyzed with flow cytometer. Lymphocytes, both control and PHA-activated, are resuspended in PBS, incubated with 5 µM of H2DCFDA in the dark for 30 min at 37°C, and immediately analyzed. Along with the H2DCFDA probe, if indicated, ROS-insensitive modification of the fluorescent dye DCFDA is used. The staining procedure is the same as for the H2DCFDA^[1].
