Instructions
I. Dissolution and preparation
1. Preparation of mother solution: Calcein is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO, ethanol or PBS. The dissolved concentration can be adjusted according to the requirements of the experiment, usually in the range of 1-10 mM.
2. Preparation of working solution: When used for cell staining, the dissolved Calcein is added to the cultured cells, usually at a concentration of 1-5 μM (the specific concentration needs to be optimized according to the experiment).
II. Cell staining
1. After adding Calcein, the cells usually need to be incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. After labeling, it can be analyzed using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.
3. Calcein dye enters the cell through the permeability of the cell membrane. In the presence of calcium ions, it binds to calcium ions and emits green fluorescence.
III. Lipid vesicle leakage detection
Calcein can be used to evaluate the integrity of the cell membrane in lipid vesicle leakage experiments. When the lipid vesicle membrane is damaged, Calcein leaks out of the vesicle, resulting in changes in the fluorescence signal. Therefore, it can be used as an indicator for detecting membrane leakage and membrane stability.
IV. Calcium ion titration and determination:
1. Calcein can also be used as an indicator for EDTA calcium ion titration and fluorescence determination of calcium ions. Calcein binds to calcium ions to form a fluorescent complex, so by measuring the fluorescence intensity, the concentration of calcium ions in the solution can be inferred.
2. In the calcium ion determination experiment, the fluorescence intensity of Calcein is linearly related to the concentration of calcium ions, and can usually be detected under the condition of absorption/emission spectra of 490/515 nm.
V. Removal of background signal
When performing fluorescence imaging or flow cytometric analysis, appropriate washing steps can be used to remove unbound Calcein dye on the cell surface or in the culture medium to reduce background fluorescence.
Notes:
1. Calcein solution should be stored at -20°C and protected from light.
2. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing to maintain its fluorescence stability.

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the mother liquor preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experimentsFor example, your dosage is 10 mg/kg Each animal weighs 20 g, and the dosage volume is 100 μL . TargetMol | Animal experiments A total of 10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5% TargetMol | reagent DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% Saline/PBS/ddH2O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。
Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent (mother liquor concentration of 40 mg/mL), if you need to configure a concentration that exceeds the solubility of the product, please contact us first.
Preparation method for in vivo formula: Take 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent main solution, add 300 μLPEG300TargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLSaline/PBS/ddH2OTargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify
