Fura Red AM 

Fura Red AM is a fluorescent probe that can be used to visualize Ca²⁺ distribution in the cytoplasm of undifferentiated cells. Fura Red AM operates at an excitation wavelength of 488 nm^[1].

Fura Red AM is only used for undifferentiated cells, while differentiating cells exhibits strong autofluorescence in Fura Red channel. The stock liquor of Fura Red AM is recommended to be prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
