    Product Description

    Indo-1 is a ratiometric fluorescent calcium indicator. It is ideal for analyses using flow cytometry, as it uses a single excitation source, typically 349-364 nm light from an argon-ion laser. The emission maximum shifts from 475-485 nm without calcium to 400-410 nm when indo-1 binds calcium.1,2 Indo-1 is prone to photobleaching, which limits its usefulness in methods involving microscopy.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
