Fluoro Ruby is as John Kiernan stated, a dextran.   Molecular Probes, in 
Section 14.5 of the handbook explains its use. the handbook is available in 
pdf form on website.

  If you need particulars on how to dissolve, solvent, etc they post this 
information on their website for this product.  It would also have been 
found in the specification sheet sent with the product.

If all else fails, tech_service@invitrogen.com will help you.

Molecular Probes is now part of Invitrogen.
