Product Description
Fluo-4 AM is a highly sensitive and specific calcium indicator dye, widely used in biological research for monitoring intracellular calcium levels. This non-fluorescent, cell-permeable dye is designed to be easily loaded into live cells, where it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to produce the fluorescent Fluo-4. The fluorescence intensity of Fluo-4 increases significantly upon binding to calcium ions, making it an excellent tool for real-time calcium imaging.
Fluo-4 AM is particularly useful for studying calcium signaling pathways, neuronal activity, and other cellular processes that involve calcium dynamics. Its high sensitivity and low background fluorescence make it a preferred choice for researchers seeking accurate and reliable calcium measurements.
At eqipped, we offer Fluo-4 AM in a convenient 500 µl pack size, ensuring you have enough dye for your experiments without compromising on quality. Our Fluo-4 AM is manufactured under stringent quality control measures to guarantee consistency and reliability in your research.
