| I think the main name of this article should be, or at least include, FITC. This is the name under which everyone knows this substance and noone knows its actually called Fluorescein isothiocyanate. Especially not if it is people that do not know enough about it to be interested in reading up on it in wiki. DBodor (talk) 14:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)DBodor |

Isomer contradiction
edit"Fluorescein isothiocyanate" is an ambiguous chemical name that could refer to any of several different isomeric chemical compounds. Currently, the text and the infobox are inconsistent about whether this is about the 5-isomer or the 6-isomer. Which one is used as the commercial reagent? -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:44, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- It is often sold as a mixture of the two isomers, both having (almost) identical fluorescent properties. Aloneinthewild (talk) 19:15, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
