Key Product Details
Description
Fluorescent Ca2+ indicator
Product Description
FURA-2AM is a fluorescent ratiometric Ca2+ indicator (Kd Ca2+ = 145 nM). FURA-2AM is selective for Ca2+ over other divalent cations Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Mn2+. FURA-2AM binds to free intracellular calcium and is used to determine [Ca2+]i concentration.This product is typically prepared in DMSO. F 127 (Cat. No. 6253) for the solubilization of FURA-2AM is also available.
