Product Data Sheet
Calcein-AM
Catalog No. A24535
Calcein AM is a cell-permeable, non-fluorescent dye that readily enters live cells. Once inside, it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to generate Calcein, a polar and highly negatively charged molecule that is retained within the cytoplasm. Calcein emits strong green fluorescence (Ex/Em: 494/515 nm) and is commonly used in combination with Propidium Iodide for assessing cell viability and cytotoxicity.
