Rhod-2 potassium
Rhod-2 potassium is a cell impermeant, red fluorescent calcium indicator. Rhod-2 potassium exhibits a significant shift in fluorescence intensity upon calcium binding (ex max=549 nm; calcium-free v. ex/em max=552/581 nm; calcium-bound). Unlike the UV-excitable indicators Fura-2 and Indo-1 (HY-D0121), there is no accompanying spectral shift.

Biological Activity
Because Rhod-2 potassium cannot permeate the cell membrane, it can be permeabilized with 0.01% saponin or microinjected before cell incubation[2].
