Aat Bioquest Calbryte™ 520 AM | 2x50ug

Supplier: Aat Bioquest 20650

The intracellular calcium flux assay is a widely used method in monitoring signal transduction pathways and high throughput screening of G protein"coupled receptors (GPCRs) and calcium channel targets. Followed by Fluo-3 being introduced in 1989, Fluo-4, Fluo-8 and Cal-520 were later developed with improved signal/background ratio, and became the widely used Ca2+ indicators for confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and high throughput screening applications. However, there are still a few severe problems with Fluo-4. For example, as for Fluo-3, in all most all the intracellular calcium assays with Fluo-4 AM, probenecid is required to prevent the cell-loaded Fluo-4 from leaking out of cells. The use of probenecid with Fluo-4-based calcium assays compromises the assay results since probenecid is well-documented to have a variety of complicated cellular effects. Calbryte™ 520, AM is a novel fluorescent and cell-permeable indicator for the measurement of intracellular calcium.
