Catelog Number :   
    59001
Product Name :   
    A-23187 Free Acid (calcimycin; or Calcium Ionophore III)

Description:

A-23187 is a calcium ionophore that rapidly equilibrates intracellular and extracellular calcium concentrations. It is commonly used for in situ calibrations of fluorescent calcium indicators. The ionophore allows Mn2+ to enter the cells and quench intracellular fluorescence of calcium indicators.
  • White solid soluble in DMSO.
  • Store at 4°C and protect from light.
  • C29H37N3O6.
  • Mwt: 523.6.

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.

Catelog Number :   
    59003
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+.

Catelog Number :   
    59005
Product Name :   
    Pluronic F-127, 10% in sterile H2O

Description:

This ready-to-use solution of the dispersing reagent is useful for loading hydrophobic but moisture-sensitive materials into cells.

Reference:


Catelog Number :   
    59006
Product Name :   
    4-Bromo A-23187, free acid

Description:

Similar to A-23187, 4-Bromo A-23187 is used for in situ calibrations of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators to equilibrate intracellular and extracellular calcium concentrations and to allow Mn2+ to enter cells to quench indicator fluorescence. However, since 4-bromo A-23187 is nonfluorescent, it is preferred over the blue fluorescent A-23187 for calibrations of UV-excited Ca2+ indicators such as Indo-1 and Fura-2 in order to keep background fluorescence to a minimum.
