What is the structure of the FluoForte dye and how does the dye detect Calcium levels in the cell?
The fluorogenic calcium-binding dye is a proprietary acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, which is cell-permeable. Once the dye enters the cells, it…

Is the dye efflux inhibitor (reagent B) in the FluoForte® Calcium assay kits (ENZ-51016, ENZ-51017, ENZ-51020), Probenecid ? Should this be added to every cell type to prevent the FluoForte from leaking out of the cells?
The inhibitor is similar in properties to Probenecid. Cells lacking active MDR pumps do not require addition of efflux inhibitor. Depending…

Can the CYTO-ID® dye (ENZ-51036, ENZ-51037) be injected into mice for in vivo studies or does it need to be loaded into cultured cells?
CYTO-ID® long-term cell tracer kits (ENZ-51036, ENZ-51037) have not been tested for in vivo studies. The CYTO-ID dye would be difficult…

What could be the reason when no red fluorescence is detected in a sample containing both live and dead cells if the blue DAPI works well and the protocols were followed as recommended?
The filter settings should be checked to determine that they are optimal. Since the blue signal is stronger than the…

Do you have any literature references for normal human 8-OHdG levels using ADI-EKS-350?
Unfortunately, there is no real “gold standard” for comparing normal or expected levels of 8-OHdG. The latter is a rather…
