カルセイン  (Synonyms: Calcein; Fluorexon)

製品番号: HY-D0040
COA 取扱説明書 Technical Support

Calcein is a fluorescent dye and self-quenching probe, used as an indicator of lipid vesicle leakage, and also as a complexometric indicator for titration of calcium ions with EDTA, and for fluorometric determination of calcium. Calcein cannot directly cross the intact cell membrane of a living cell, unlike Calcein-AM (HY-D0041) which is cell-permeable. Calcein can also be used as a model drug for evaluating efficiency and bioavailability of drug delivery systems.

    Calcein purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Redox Biol. 2025 Oct:86:103804.

    Calcein fluorescence labeling showed a significantly lower rate of calcium salt deposition in the distal femur of 18Ms mice than in 3Ms mice. Five mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected with Calcein (10 mg/kg, ip) 10 days and 3 days before material extraction.

    Five mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected with Calcein (10 mg/kg, ip) 10 days and 3 days before material extraction. Two calcium salt deposition lines were observed after non decalcified hard tissue sections, and the calcium salt deposition rate of the four groups of patients was measured and analyzed.

    体外実験

    Calcein is a fluorescent probe that emits yellow-green fluorescence and can be used to determine the labile iron pool as well as to measure the binding affinity of Fe(III) with ligands[3].
    Guide (The following is our recommended experimental protocol. This protocol is for reference only and should be modified according to your specific needs).
    1. Solution preparation[3]
    1.1 Preparation of stock solution
    Solvent: 1 M NaOH
    Concentration: 0.5 mM (optimize according to the experiment).
    Storage: Aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C protected from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
    1.2 Preparation of working solution
    Dilute to 0.5 μM with PBS or cell culture medium.
    Note: The working solution should be freshly prepared, used immediately, and protected from light.

    2. Cell staining
    2.1 Incubate cells (106/mL) with 20 μM Fe(II) at 37°C for 2 h.
    2.2 Collect cells by centrifugation (1000 rpm; 5 min), and stain by directly microinjecting Calcein (0.5 μM) into the cells (5-15 min).
    2.3 Wash cells twice with D'hanks buffer (pH 7.4).
    2.4 Monitor fluorescence using flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy.

    細胞実験
    [1]

    Coelomocytes suspensions (ISO and CF) are separately incubated with calcein-AM (excitation and emission wavelength: 496 nm and 516 nm, respectively) at a final concentration of 200 nM, during 30 min, at 26°C. Calcein-AM is a nonfluorescent ABC transporter substrate whose intracellular accumulation is inversely proportional to ABC transporter activity. Intracellular esterases convert calcein-AM into the fluorescent dye calcein, which is not an ABC transporter substrate, thereby accumulating the dye inside the cell. Therefore, a high fluorescence signal indicates low ABC transporter activity whereas a low fluorescence signal indicates high activity. The fluorescence of samples is measured by flow cytometer. The experiment is repeated six times in duplicates.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
