Component B (40 uM free Ca2+): 10 mM CaEGTA (10 mM CaEGTA,100 mM KCI and 10 mM MOPS, pH 7.20)
- Colorless liquids
- Store at 4°C
- Preservative-free, use within three months of receipt

Fluo-4 AM Ester
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.
Rhod-2, AM Ester
Membrane-permeant form of Rhod-2 calcium indicator that can be loaded into cells via incubation. Because of the relatively low water solubility of the AM ester, the mild detergent Pluronic F-127 is often used as a dispersing agent to facilitate dye loading.
Fura-2, AM Ester
Fura-2, AM ester is a ratiometric calcium indicator that is membrane-permeant and can thus be loaded into cells via incubation.
Indo-1, AM Ester
Indo-1, AM ester is membrane-permeant and thus 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 cell loading.
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.
