Labeled calcium indicators are molecules that exhibit an increase in fluorescence upon binding Ca2+. Fluo-5F, fluo-5N, and fluo-4ff are analogs of fluo-4 with lower Ca2+-binding affinity, making them suitable for detecting intracellular calcium levels in the 1 μM to 1 mM range that would saturate the response of fluo-3 and fluo-4. Cells may be loaded with the AM ester forms of these calcium indicators by adding the dissolved indicator directly to dishes containing cultured cells. These indicators are compatible with excitation at 488 nm by argon-ion laser sources, making them useful for confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and microplate screening applications.

Calcium Indicator (AM Ester) Specifications:
• Label (Ex/Em of Ca2+–bound form): Fluo-5N (494/516 nm)
• Fluorescence intensity increase upon binding Ca2+: >100 fold
• Kd for Ca2+ in buffer: ∼90 μM
• Exhibit fluorescence increase upon binding Ca2+ with little shift in wavelength

Using TPEN to Control Heavy Metal Cations
In addition, BAPTA-based indicators such as these bind various heavy metal cations (e.g., Mn2+, Zn2+, Pb2+) with substantially higher affinity than Ca2+. Perturbations to calcium measurements caused by presence of these ions can be controlled using the heavy metal-selective chelator TPEN.

More Choices for Fluorescent Calcium Indicators
We offer a large selection of Molecular Probes™ calcium indicators for use in various experimental scenarios. For more information, review Fluorescent Ca2+ Indicators Excited with Visible Light—Section 19.3 in the Molecular Probes™ Handbook.
