Aat Bioquest Calbryte™ 520 AM | 1mg

Supplier: Aat Bioquest 20653
Calbryte™ 520, AM is a novel fluorescent and cell-permeable indicator for the measurement of intracellular calcium. Like other dye AM esters, Calbryte™ 520 AM is non-fluorescent and non-activatable. Once Calbryte™ 520 AM enters the cell, it is readily hydrolyzed by intracellular esterase where it becomes activated and responsive to calcium. The activated indicator is now a polar molecule that is incapable of freely diffusing through the cell membrane, essentially trapping it inside the cell. Upon binding calcium ions, Calbryte™ 520 produces a bright fluorescence signal with extremely high signal/background ratio. It has the identical excitation and emission wavelength as Fluo-4, thus the same Fluo-4 assay settings can be readily applied to Calbryte™ 520-based calcium assays.
