BCECF-AM Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
BCECF AM ester is a widely-
Chemical Properties
pale yellow to yellow powder
Uses
Cell-permeable ester of BCECF that, on hydrolysis by cytosolic esterases, yields the intracellularly trapped pH-indicator BCECF. Allows simultaneous recording of cell volume changes and intracellular pH in single osteosarcoma cells.
General Description
Material is an isomeric mixture of lactones, acetates, and AM esters
Biological Activity
Non-charged, non-fluorescent pH indicator. Readily and rapidly diffuses through cell membranes.
