5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA
5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA is a difluoro-derivative of BAPTA (HY-100168). 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA is the most widely used probe for studying cytosolic free Ca2+ by 19F NMR. 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA has high selectivity for Ca2+. 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA can inhibit the growth of pollen tube.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA shows large 19F NMR chemical shifts upon chelating divalent cations[1].
Fe2+ ion concentrations were measured following addition of 5 mM 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA to the culture medium. Fe2+ forms a complex with 5,5'-Difluoro BAPTA (Kd=50 nM) that exhibits a characteristic peak down-field from biological ions such as Ca2+ and Zn2+[3].

Ca2+ Staining Technique
Ca2+ staining is an experimental technique that utilizes specific fluorescent probes (such as Fluo-4 AM, Fura-2, etc.) to qualitatively or quantitatively detect dynamic changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations; this is achieved by monitoring the changes in fluorescent signals generated when these probes bind to free intracellular calcium ions. The underlying principle relies primarily on the presence of chelating groups within the probe's molecular structure that possess high affinity for calcium ions.
