Calcein Orange™ sodium salt

Calcein AM is one of the most popular fluorescent probes used for labeling and monitoring cellular functions of live cells. However, the single color of Calcein AM makes it impossible to use this valuable reagent in the multicolor applications. For example, it is impossible to use Calcein AM in combination of GFP-tranfacted cells due to the same color to GFP. To address this color limitation of Calcein AM, we have developed Calcein Orange™, Calcein Red™ and Calcein Deep Red™. These new Calcein AM analogs enable the multicolor labeling and functional analysis of live cells in combination with Calcein AM. Non-fluorescent Calcein Orange™ diaceate can easily get into live cells and hydrolyzes to generate strongly fluorescent Calcein Orange™ dye. AAT Bioquest offers Calcein Orange™ as a reference dye to Calcein Orange™ diacetate.
