Indicators of Cell Stress

CM-H2DCFDA (General Oxidative Stress Indicator)

Category: Products & Services > Labeling & Detection Products > Sensors & Indicators > Reactive Oxygen & Nitrogen Species

CM-H 2 DCFDA is a chloromethyl derivative of H 2 DCFDA, useful as an indicator for reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. This indicator exhibits much better retention in live cells than H 2 DCFDA. CM-H 2 DCFDA passively diffuses into cells, where its acetate groups are cleaved by intracellular esterases and its thiol-reactive chloromethyl group reacts with intracellular glutathione and other thiols. Subsequent oxidation yields a fluorescent adduct that is trapped inside the cell, thus facilitating long-term studies. ROS Indicator Specifications: • Ex/Em: ~492–495/517–527 nm • Product is air ...

Fluo-4, Pentapotassium Salt, cell impermeant

Category: Products & Services > Labeling & Detection Products > Sensors & Indicators > Ion Indicators & Ionophores

Labeled calcium indicators are molecules that exhibit an increase in fluorescence upon binding Ca 2+ . Fluo-3 has been used to image the spatial dynamics of Ca 2+ signaling, in flow cytometry experiments involving photoactivation of caged chelators, second messengers, and neurotransmitters, and for cell-based pharmacological screening. Fluo-4 is an analog of fluo-3 with the two chlorine substituents replaced by fluorines, which results in increased fluorescence excitation at 488 nm and consequently higher fluorescence signal levels. Cells may be physically loaded with the cell-impermeant salt ...

MitoSOX™ Red Mitochondrial Superoxide Indicator, for live-cell imaging

Category: Products & Services > Labeling & Detection Products > Sensors & Indicators > Reactive Oxygen & Nitrogen Species

MitoSOX™ Red reagent is a novel fluorogenic dye specifically targeted to mitochondria in live cells. Oxidation of MitoSOX™ Red reagent by superoxide produces red fluorescence. • Readily oxidized by superoxide but not by other ROS- or RNS-generating systems • Absorption/emission maxima: ~510/580 nm • Use for live cell imaging • Rapidly and selectively targeted to the mitochondria Quick, Easy Detection of Mitochondrial Superoxide in Live Cells The production of superoxide by mitochondria can be visualized in fluorescence microscopy using the MitoSOX™ Red reagent. MitoSOX™ Red reagent permeates l...

Fura-FF, Pentapotassium Salt, cell impermeant

Category: Products & Services > Labeling & Detection Products > Sensors & Indicators > Ion Indicators & Ionophores

Fura-FF pentapotassium salt is a fura-2 derivative that has Ca 2+ sensitivity similar to mag-fura-2, but is relatively insensitive to Mg 2+ . This water-soluble salt form is useful for intracellular loading by microinjection, infusion from patch pipette or uptake induced by our Influx pinocytic cell-loading reagent (I-14402).
