Product Details
To study the roles of calcium, a key intracellular messenger in cells, it is essential to quantitatively monitor its concentration. The most widely used method of Ca2+ detection is the use of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators. Fluo-3, AM ester is a membrane-permeant form of Fluo-3 that can be loaded into cells via incubation. Fluo-3 AM ester itself does not bind Ca2+, but it is readily hydrolyzed to Fluo-3 by endogenous esterases once the dye is inside the cells. An important application of Fluo-3 AM ester is its use in high throughput drug screening.
