Fluo-3, AM ester, 1 mM in anhydrous DMSO

Brand :

Catalog No : 50015

Product Description

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, Pluoronic F-127 (#59004) a mild detergent, is often used as a dispersing agent to facilitate cell loading. Fluo-3 AM ester itself does not bind Ca²⁺, but it is readily hydrolyzed to fluo-3 by endogenous esterases once the dye is inside the cells. An important application of Fluo-3 AM ester is its use in high throughput drug screening.
