Invitrogen™ CoroNa™ Green, AM, cell permeant - Special Packaging
Description
A sodium ion indicator that exhibits an increase in green fluorescence emission intensity upon binding Na+, with little shift in wavelength
- Allows spatial and temporal resolution of Na+ concentrations in presence of physiological concentrations of other monovalent cations
- Dye loads into cells more efficiently than does sodium green tetraacetate, and CoroNa Green indicator responds to broader range of Na+ concentration
- With absorption/emission maxima of approximately 492/516nm for Na+-bound form, can be detected by any instrument that can detect fluorescein

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Regardless of the type of live-cell indicator dye (e.g., calcium indicators, pH indicator, metal ion indicators), make sure there is no serum during the loading step, which can prematurely cleave dyes with AM esters and bind dyes non-specifically. Always optimize the dye concentration and staining time with a positive control before you run your test samples, to give the best signal-to-background. Always run a positive control with a buffer containing free ions of known concentration and an ionophore to open pores to those ions (for instance, for calcium indicators like Fluo-4 AM, this would include a buffer with added calcium combined with calcimycin, or for pH indicators, buffers of different pHs combined with nigericin). Reactive oxygen indicators, such as CellROX Green or H2DCFDA would require a cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulant as a positive control, such as menadione. Finally, make sure your imaging system has a sensitive detector. Plate readers, for instance, have much lower detector efficiency over background, compared to microscopy or flow cytometry.
