Description:
5,5′-Difluoro-BAPTA-AM is a calcium chelator that may be used to modulate calcium levels and flow within cells to study calcium homeostasis and cell signaling. It is used to study cytosolic free Ca2+ by 19F-NMR. It has high selectivity for Ca2+, it is not particularly pH sensitive and is available protected as its acetoxymethyl ester. Determination with 5,5′-Difluoro-BAPTA-AM are not sensitive to cells which have a high natural background fluorescence.
