Catelog Number :   
    50013
Product Name :   
    Fluo-3, AM ester

Description:

Membrane-permeant form and thus can be loaded into cells via incubation. Because of the relatively low water solubility of the AM ester, Pluronic F-127 (See 59000 and refs. Therein), a mild detergent, is often used as a dispersing agent to facilitate the loading. Fluo-3/AM itself does not bind Ca2+, but it is readily hydrolyzed to fluo-3 by endogenous esterases once the dye is inside the cells. A new and potentially very important application of Fluo-3/AM is its use in high throughput drug screening.
  • Orange red solid soluble in DMSO.
  • Keep frozen at -20°C. Protect from light, especially when in solution.
  • C51H50Cl2N2O23.
  • Mwt: 1129.9.
  • [121714-22-5].

Catelog Number :   
    59002
Product Name :   
    EDC (EDAC; 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide, hydrochloride))

Description:

EDC (or EDAC) has recently been found to be very useful for fixing in situ chelators, including the fluorescent ion indicators in this catalogue. The fixation of ion indicators makes it useful for post histological studies following the physiological experiments. EDC is also a widely used reagent to activate carboxy groups for amine couplings.

Product Name :   
    TPEN (Full name: tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine)

Description:

TPEN is an excellent heavy metal chelator while it does not affect Ca++, Mg++ , Na+ or K+ concentrations. Thus, TPEN is a useful tool to identify effects of heavy metals (Zn++, Fe++/Fe+++, Cu++, and Mn++, etc.) on fluorescent indicators of Ca++, Mg++ ,Na+ and K+.
