Calcein AM / Calcein AM / N/A
Product Details
| Description | Calcein acetomethoxy (AM), a derivative of calcein, is useful for differentiating between live and dead cells. Calcein AM readily passes through the cellular plasma membrane. Once inside, esterases cleave the AM groups yielding the more hydrophilic calcein, trapped inside the cell. | |

About Calcein AM
Calcein, AM, also called Calcein Green, AM, is a fluorogenic green fluorescent molecule (ex 491/ em 511) that penetrates the membranes of live cells. Once inside the live cell, Calcein, AM is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases into the fluorescent Calcein which can then be measured via Fluorescence Microscopy, flow cytometer, or fluorescent microplate reader. Reagents that contain an acetoxymethyl ester (AM) or diacetate (DA) side chain, are useful indicators of cell health and vitality, especially when used together with a probe for cell membrane integrity like an impermeant nucleic acid stain or fixable live/dead probe.
