Product Details
Mag-Fura-2 is a UV-excitable fluorescent indicator for magnesium with a Kd of 1.9 mM. Similar to Fura-2, the excitation wavelength of Mag-Fura-2 undergoes a blue shift from 369 nm to 330 nm. Mag-Fura-2 also responds to Ca2+ but with a significantly higher Kd than Fura-2 for Ca2+. An important application of Mag-Fura-2 is its use in detecting high, transient Ca2+ concentration during Ca2+ spikes. Mag-Fura-2, tetrapotassium salt can be loaded into cells by microinjection or scrape loading.
