Rhod-4™, sodium salt

Calcium measurement is critical for numerous biological investigations. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding Ca2+ have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers. Rhod-2 is most commonly used among the red fluorescent calcium indicators. However, Rhod-2 AM is only moderately fluorescent in live cells upon esterase hydrolysis, and has very small cellular calcium responses. Rhod-4™ has been developed to improve Rhod-2 cell loading and calcium response while maintaining the spectral wavelength of Rhod-2. In CHO and HEK cells Rhod-4™ AM has cellular calcium response that is 10 times more sensitive than Rhod-2 AM. AAT Bioquest offers versatile packing sizes of Quest Rhod-4 to meet your special needs, e.g., 1 mg; 10x50 µg; 20x50 µg; HTS packages with no additional packaging charge.

ATP-stimulated calcium responses of endogenous P2Y receptors were measured in CHO-K1 cells with Rhod-4&trade; AM (Cat# 21120) and Rhod-2 AM (Cat# 21064). CHO-K1 cells were seeded overnight at 50,000 cells/100 &micro;L/well in a Costar 96-well black wall/clear bottom plate. The growth medium was removed, and the cells were incubated with 100 &micro;L of dye loading solution using Rhod-4&trade; AM (4 &micro;M, A and B) or Rhod-2 AM (4 &micro;M, C and D) for 1 hour in a 37 &deg;C, 5% CO2 incubator. The staining solution was replaced with 200 &micro;L HHBS, then the cells were imaged before (A and C) and after (B and D) ATP treatment with a fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX71) using TRITC channel.
