    Product Description

    Rhod-FF AM is a cell-permeant acetoxymethyl ester of the fluorescent calcium indicator rhod-FF (Item No. 20433). As rhod-FF AM enters cells, it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to produce rhod-FF. Rhod-FF is a difluorinated analog of the cell-impermeant calcium indicator rhod-2. It has a very low affinity for calcium (Kd = 320 µM).1 Low affinity calcium indicators are particularly useful for studying compartments with high concentrations of calcium, such as endoplasmic reticulum, where high affinity dyes will be insensitive to luminal fluctuations. Rhod-FF has excitation/emission maxima of approximately 552 and 580 nm, respectively.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
