Resorufin acetate is an excellent option for research purposes, owing to its stability and non-toxicity as a water-soluble compound. It is a type of fluorescent dye that becomes activated by enzymes. Enzymes catalyze the conversion of the dye to a fluorescent product upon exposure to resorufin acetate. Fluorescence spectroscopy can be utilized to identify and quantify the product.
