Product Description
Indo 1 is another type of improved calcium indicator that can be used in ratiometry, including when using a flow cytometer. Two separate wavelengths in the emission spectrum, usually at 410 nm and 480 nm, are measured in the ratiometry of Indo 1. Indo 1 is reported to have better properties for localization than Fura 2 after being loaded into cells. Indo 1-AM is an acetoxymethyl ester derivative of Indo 1 that can be loaded into cells by incubation.
