Fluo-3AM  (Synonyms: Fluo-3-pentaacetoxymethyl ester)

Cat. No.: HY-D0716 Purity: 96.92%
COA Handling Instructions

Fluo-3 AM is a fluorecent Ca2+ chelator, with high affinity for calcium. Fluo-3 AM can specifically identify intracellular calcium ions, with high sensitivity, low cytotoxicity, increased AM acetylmethyl ester can enter the cell well, after being sheared by the intracellular esterase stay in the cell to bind to calcium ions, produce strong fluorescence.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description

Fluo-3 AM is a fluorecent Ca2+ chelator, with high affinity for calcium. Fluo-3 AM can specifically identify intracellular calcium ions, with high sensitivity, low cytotoxicity, increased AM acetylmethyl ester can enter the cell well, after being sheared by the intracellular esterase stay in the cell to bind to calcium ions, produce strong fluorescence[1].

In Vitro

1. Preparation of Fluo-3 AM working solution
1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg Fluo-3 AM in 135 μL DMSO to obtain 10 mM of stock solution.
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C or -80°C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of Fluo-3 AM working solution
Dilute the stock solution in HBSS to obtain 1-10 μM of working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Fluo-3 AMworking solution according to the actual situation.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (6-well plate)
a. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time. The cell density is 1×106/mL
b.Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
c. Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
d. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
e. Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
a. Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
b. Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
c. Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
d. Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time. Observation by fluorescence microscopy.

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.
