Fura-2 AM (Cell permeant) is a high affinity, cell permeable calcium indicator which is ratiometric and UV light excitable. AM ester derivative of Fura-2.
Fura-2 AM (Cell permeant) can noninvasively be loaded into live cells by incubation and is widely used for ratio-imaging microscopy and measuring intracellular calcium elevations in neurons and other excitable cells.
Excitation 340/380nm, Emission 505nm.
