Naphthoresorcinol (1,3-Dihydroxynaphthalene) is a fluorescent dye with an excitation wavelength (λex) of 330 nm and an emission wavelength (λem) of 380 nm.

Pyrene is a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and a sensitive blue fluorescent group with an excitation wavelength of 338 nm and an emission wavelength of 375 nm. It can be used to detect protein-lipid interactions and conformational changes and also serves as an electron donor material.

DPPP is a probe that reacts stoichiometrically with hydroperoxides to yield the fluorescent molecule diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine oxide (DPPP-O). Plasma levels of lipid hydroperoxides of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters have been measured by HPLC with a post column detection system using DPPP. DPPP has also been used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of low density lipoprotein and cellular oxidation. Fluorescence of DPPP-O can be monitor using excitation and emission wavelengths of 351 nm and 380 nm, respectively.

NIR-βgal-2, a highly sensitive β-galactosidase-activated near-infrared fluorescent probe, facilitates the visualization of β-galactosidase in breast cancer [1].
