Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for Fura-2 to be ineffective for the study of calcium levels in living cells needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Fura-2 is a ratiometric and sensitive indicator dye. Thisis used for measuring calcium within the living cells. One of the forms of Fura-2 is known as acetoxymethyl (AM) ester. it is very helpful for noninvasive intracellular loadings. This is also available inpackages (F-1221) and in a solution with DMSO (F-1225).
