Thermo Fisher, N7991, Newport Green™ DCF Diacetate, cell permeant

Newport Green™ DCF Diacetate, cell permeant The Newport Green™ DCF indicator has moderate zinc-binding affinity (Kdfor Zn2+∼1 μM) but is essentially insensitive to Ca2+(Kd for Ca2+>100 μM), making this a valuable probe for detecting Zn2+influx into neurons through voltage- or glutamate-gated channels. When used alongside dyes with dual Ca2+/ Zn2+sensitivity such as fura-2 and mag-fura-2, Newport Green™ DCF provides confirmation that changes in Zn2+levels, and not Ca2+or Mg2+, are being detected. The response of Newport Green™ DCF to transition metals, including Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu(I), Cu(II), Ni and Cd, has been characterized.
