Product Data Sheet
Ruthenium red
Catalog No. A44580
Ruthenium red is a polycationic dye primarily used for electron microscopy applications in the analysis of cells, tissues, and vegetative bacteria. It exhibits a strong interaction with phospholipids and fatty acids while binding effectively to acidic mucopolysaccharides. Additionally, Ruthenium red functions as a blocker of L-type calcium currents (ICa), making it valuable for studies involving cellular calcium dynamics.
