Sulforhodamine 101 is a red fluorescent dye, whose sulfonyl chloride derivative (Texas Red) is used for conjugation to a number of functional groups, especially primary amines. In neurophysiological experiments which comprise calcium imaging methods, it can be used for a counterstaining of astrocytes to be able to analyze data from neurons separately.[1]
