Description

The Calcium Kit - Fluo 4 is a screening kit containing Fluo 4-AM, a reagent for the measurement of intracellular Ca2+, as well as buffers and other components necessary for the measurement.
Depending on the cell type and drugs to be added, the concentrations of Pluronic F-127 or Cremophor EL (solubilizing agents for Fluo 4-AM) and Probenecid (an inhibitor of anion transporters) can be adjusted as required.
Various fluorescence plate readers and injectors used for high throughput screening allow real-time measurement of changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration caused by drug addition.

Technical info

1) Complete kit with all reagents needed for intracellular Ca2+ measurements.
2) Ca-probes are pre-divided into individual includes [10 plates/kit].
3) Concentrations of probe solubilizer and leakage inhibitor can be adjusted as required.
4) Washing method with minimal impact on the measurement.
*Please refer to the protocol for usage instructions.

Principle

Q & A

Q

Are there any differences in the measurement results between Wash and Non-Wash?

A

There is almost no difference.
However, since the non-wash type uses a quenching buffer, the rate of change in fluorescence intensity or response may differ depending on the cells or stimulants used.

Q

This is my first time performing this measurement. Could you please explain the principle, measurement method, and troubleshooting methods for Ca²⁺ probes?
