Calcium Indicators & Chelators
Biotium offers a wide range of calcium indicator dyes, including Fluo-4 AM Ester, a bright and cell permeable dye that is used for high-throughput screening.
The calcium indicator dyes vary in their calcium dissociation constant (Kd), color and brightness. The AM ester versions are cell permeable, and hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to release the fluorescent dye. See our complete selection of Calcium & Other Ion Indicators, or download the Ion Indicator Brochure to learn more.
4-Bromo A-23187, Free Acid
Similar to A-23187, 4-Bromo A-23187 is used for in situ calibrations of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators to equilibrate intracellular and extracellular calcium concentrations and to allow Mn2+ to enter cells to quench indicator fluorescence.

5,5′-Dibromo BAPTA, Tetrapotassium Salt
BAPTA and its derivatives are calcium chelators that are commonly used to form calcium buffers with well-defined calcium concentrations. By injecting the chelators into cells or by incubating cells with the AM ester form of the chelators, one can control the cytosolic calcium concentration, an important means to study the roles of calcium.

EDC (EDAC)
EDC (or EDAC) (1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide, hydrochloride)) has recently been found to be very useful for fixing in situ chelators, including the fluorescent ion indicators for histological studies following physiological experiments. EDC is also a widely used reagent to activate carboxy groups for amine coupling.

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.
