MQAE, a fluorescent chloride ion indicator, is more sensitive and selective than 36Cl and microelectrode-based methods for chloride measurement in cells. MQAE is quenched via collision with chloride.
Hoechst 33342 trihydrochloride (bisBenzimide H 33342 trihydrochloride;HOE 33342 trihydrochloride) is a membrane permeant DNA stain with blue fluorescence.
Hydroxystilbamidine ((E)-hydroxystilbamidine), a dye capable of binding to both DNA and RNA, has been found to be a powerful inhibitor of cellular ribonucleases.
Zinquin ethyl ester is a cell membrane-penetrating and selective fluorescent probe for zinc ions that measures intracellular levels of Zn(2+) and Ca(2+) ions and can be used to stain early embryos.
Fura-2 AM is a membrane-permeable Ca²⁺ (calcium ion) indicator that is converted to Fura-2 by esterase within cells. Its fluorescence emission wavelength is around 510 nm, with excitation maxima at 340 nm under high calcium concentrations and 380 nm under low calcium concentrations. Calcium ion concentrations can be calculated using the fluorescence intensity ratio.
Bromobimane (Monobromobimane) is a non-fluorescent substance, but reacts with thiols to produce a fluorescent product.Bromobimane is used as a probe, often in clinical medicine, to test for sulfide levels in blood.
TSQ is a zinc fluorescent probe and zinc fluorescent chelator that binds to zinc to form a complex that induces apoptosis and can be used for imaging zinc proteins. The maximum excitation wavelength is 360 nm, and the maximum emission wavelength ranges from 470 to 490 nm. Light emitted by TSQ can be quenched by the Zn(2+) chelator, TPEN.
Hoechst 33258 trihydrochloride (Bisbenzimide) is a benzimidazole anti-filarial agent. it is fluorescent when it binds to certain nucleotides in DNA, thus providing a tool for the study of DNA replication. it also interferes with mitosis.
Ac-YVAD-AFC is a fluorescent peptide substrate used to detect caspase-1. When cleaved, it releases the fluorescent molecule AFC, with an excitation wavelength of 400 nm and an emission wavelength of 505 nm.
7-Hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-HC-3-CA) is a safe anti-browning agent that inhibits tyrosinase activity, used in food preservation and human pigmentation research.
2,3-Diaminonaphthalene is a highly selective fluorometric and colorimetric reagent for selenium detection, and it is also used for the fluorometric determination of nitrite.
Hoechst stains are part of a family of blue fluorescent dyes used to stain DNA. HOE 33187 is a cell dye for DNA. Hoechst dyes are soluble in water and in organic solvents such as dimethyl formamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. Concentrations can be achieved of
Msr-Ratio (Msr-green) (Msr-green) is a ratiometric fluorescent probe specifically designed for the detection of methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR) activity. It has an excitation wavelength of 375 nm and an emission wavelength of 550 nm. This probe offers the ability to monitor the enzyme activity both in vitro and in live cells, making it a valuable tool for studying MSR function.
