Description

  • Labeled calcium indicators can exhibit an increase in fluorescence upon binding Ca2+. The fluorescence intensity can increase more than 100 fold upon binding Ca2+. Fluo-4 is an analog of Fluo-3 with the two chlorine substituents replaced by fluorines. It results in increased fluorescence excitation at 488 nm and consequently higher fluorescence signal levels. The heavy metal-selective chelator TPEN can be used to control the perturbations of heavy metal cations. This cell impermeant indicators can be physically loaded using patch pipette, microinjection, or pinocytotic cell-loading reagent.

Detailed Information

  • • Ex/Em of Ca2+–bound form: 494/516 nm
    • Kd for Ca2+ in buffer: ~335 nM
