Calcein-AM ≥95% (by HPLC)
Synonyms:
Calcein O,O′-diacetate tetrakis(acetoxymethyl) ester
, Calcein acetoxymethyl ester
A cell-permeable, non-fluorescent acetoxymethyl ester derivative of Calcein that gets hydrolyzed inside the cell by esterases.
- Readily bind intracellular calcium resulting in a strong yellowish-green fluorescence
- Best probe for cell viablilty and cell adhesion
- Cell-permeable, non-fluorescent acetoxymethyl ester derivative of Calcein
The loss of the acetoxymethyl group also enables calcein to readily bind intracellular calcium resulting in a strong yellowish-green fluorescence. It is the best probe for cell viablilty and cell adhesion due to its greater retention in cells as well and its pH insensitivity in physiological range.
