Thermo Fisher, R1245MP, Rhod-2, AM, cell permeant

Thermo Fisher, R1245MP, Rhod-2, AM, cell permeant Labeled calcium indicators are molecules that exhibit an increase in fluorescence upon binding Ca2+. They have uses in many calcium signaling investigations, including measuring Ca2+in cells and tissues that have high levels of autofluorescence and also for detecting Ca2+release generated by photoreceptors and photoactivatable chelators. Cells may be loaded with the AM ester forms of these calcium indicators by adding the dissolved indicator directly to dishes containing cultured cells. The fluorescence signal from these cells is generally measured using fluorescence microscopy.
Calcium Indicator (AM Ester) Specifications:
• Label (Ex/Em of Ca2+–bound form): Rhod-2 (552/581 nm)
• Fluorescence intensity increase upon binding Ca2+: >100 fold
• Kdfor Ca2+in the absence of Mg2+, in buffer: ∼570 nM
• Exhibit fluorescence increase upon binding Ca2+with little shift in wavelengthUsing TPEN to Control Heavy Metal CationsIn addition, BAPTA-based indicators such as these bind various heavy metal cations (e.
g., Mn2+, Zn2+, Pb2+) with substantially higher affinity than Ca2+. Perturbations to calcium measurements caused by presence of these ions can be controlled using the heavy metal-selective chelatorTPEN.
More Choices for Fluorescent Calcium IndicatorsWe offer a large selection of Molecular Probes™ calcium indicators for use in various experimental scenarios, for example dextran versions for reduced leakage and compartmentalization and BAPTA conjugates for detecting high-amplitude calcium transients.
