Product Description

A-23187, also known as Calcimycin or Calcium Ionophore III, is a calcium ionophore that rapidly equilibrates intracellular and extracellular calcium concentrations. It is commonly used for in situ calibrations of fluorescent calcium indicators. The ionophore allows Mn2 to enter the cells and quench intracellular fluorescence of calcium indicators. Also see 4-bromo A-23187 (59006). Because 4-bromo A-23187 is nonfluorescent, it is preferred over the blue fluorescent A-23187 for calibrations of UV-excited Ca2 indicators such as Indo-1 and Fura-2 in order to keep background fluorescence to a minimum.

    DMSO, Anhydrous

    Anhydrous DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide; methyl sulfoxide) is recommended for preparing stock solutions of AM ester dyes, reactive dyes and other related moisture-sensitive products.

    This kit provides buffers for generating a range of accurate calcium concentrations for the calibration of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators.

    Probenecid, Sodium Salt, Water Soluble

    Probenecid is commonly used to inhibit organic-anion transporters located in the cell membrane. Such transporters can extrude dyes and indicators and thus contribute to low signal or high background in assays due to poor cellular retention of dyes.

    Membrane-permeant form of Fluo-4 calcium indicator.

    Fluo-3, AM Ester

    Membrane-permeant AM ester form of Fluo-3 that can be loaded into cells via incubation. Because of the relatively low water solubility of the AM ester, Pluronic F-127, a mild detergent, is often used as a dispersing agent to facilitate dye loading.

    Ionomycin, Calcium Salt

    Ionomycin is commonly used to modify intracellular calcium concentrations and to calibrate fluorescent calcium indicators. It is also known for its antiproliferative effects.
