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 ...

Calcium Calibration Buffer Kit #1, zero and 10 mM CaEGTA

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

The Calcium Calibration Buffer Kits are designed to help determine the dissociation constant (K d ) of fluorescent Ca 2+ indicators using a fluorometer or quantitative imaging system. The Kd of an indicator can be calculated from a plot generated by scanning the excitation or emission of the indicator in the presence of eleven different Ca 2+ concentrations. Calcium Calibration Kit #1 contains 50 mL of 10 mM K 2 EGTA and 50 mL of 10 mM CaEGTA. Both solutions contain 100 mM KCl and 30 mM MOPS, pH 7.2 and are prepared in deionized water. These stock solutions can be blended to make buffers havin...

DiSBAC 4 (3)

Category: Products & Services > Labeling & Detection Products > Sensors & Indicators > Voltage & Membrane Potential Sensors

Voltage Sensor Probes (VSPs) are a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based voltage-sensing assay technology used to measure changes in cellular membrane electrical potential. VSPs are ideal for screening compounds that modulate ion channels because they provide: High-throughput capabilities-screen 32,000 samples in one day Highly sensitive detection-accurately and precisely report a 1% change in the Emission Ratio per mV Rapid detection response-sub-second time response Ratiometric readout (the Emission Ratio)-reduces experimental errors arising from well-to-well variations in cell...

lucigenin (bis- N -Methylacridinium Nitrate) - High Purity

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

Our highly purified lucigenin is a fluorescent Cl- indicator that has excitation/emission maxima of 368/505 nm and whose fluorescence is quenched in the presence of Cl-. The dye is useful for determining Cl- concentrations in liposomes, reconstituted membranes or in extracellular medium but is not useful for intracellular measurements.

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).

5-(and-6)-Carboxy-2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein Diacetate (Carboxy-DCFDA), mixed isomers

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

Carboxy-DCFDA can passively diffuse into cells and is colorless and nonfluorescent until the acetate groups are cleaved by intracellular esterases to yield the fluorescent fluorophore, 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2',7' -dichlorofluorescein. With a pK a of 4.8, this dye can be used as an acidic pH sensor.

SNARF®-1 Carboxylic Acid, Acetate, Succinimidyl Ester - Special Packaging

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

To permit simultaneous long-term tracing of mixed-cell populations using different fluorescent colors, we have developed a probe whose applications should be similar to those of CFDA SE (commonly called CFSE). Cells labeled with our SNARF-1 carboxylic acid, acetate, succinimidyl ester have orange-red fluorescence that can be easily distinguished from that of cells loaded with green-fluorescent tracers such as CFDA SE.
