Enzo Life Sciences FURA-2 (ultra pure) (1mg). CAS: 113694-64-7

Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences ENZ52007

Fura-2 is one of the most widely used calcium indicators for homogenous quantitative dual wavelength ratiometric cell measurements. Fura-2 is particularly useful for digital imaging microscopy. It is less susceptible to photobleaching than Indo-1. The probe is excited only by UV light, which results in significantly less interference by visible wavelength excitable fluorescent compounds. One application of the probe is as a useful counter screen tool for GPCR and calcium channels identified using calcium indicators excited at 488nm in primary screens. Fura-2 is a membrane impermeable probe and can be loaded in cells by microinjection, electroporation or scrape loading. Wavelength Maxima: Excitation 363nm, Emission 512nm. Alternative name: 1-[2-(5-Carboxyoxazol-2-yl)-6-aminobenzofuran-5-oxy]-2-(2'-amino-5'-methyl-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid . 5K. Purity: ≥95% (HPLC). Solubility: Soluble in water. Long Term Storage: -20°C.
