Mag-520™ potassium salt
A vast majority of the existing magnesium ion indicators are based on tricarboxylate APTRA chelator derived from the popular tetracarboxylate BAPTA calcium ion chelator. They include mag-fura-2, mag-indo-1, mag-fluo-4 and mag-rhod-3. However, all of them have higher affinity for calcium than magnesium although they were designed for detecting magnesium ion. Mag-520™ is the first commercial magnesium indicator that has higher affinity for magnesium than calcium. Its significantly improved selectivity can be used for measuring magnesium ion with minimal interference from calcium ion compared to other commercial magnesium ion indicators such as the popular mag-fluo-4.
