Fura-FF AM is a cell-permeable acetoxymethyl ester of fura-FF, which is a fluorescent calcium indicator. It is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to release fura-FF within cells. Fura-FF is a difluorinated derivative of the calcium indicator fura-2. Compared to fura-2, fura-FF exhibits a low affinity for calcium, making it suitable for studying compartments with high concentrations of calcium.
