IPG -1 AM - yellow -green fluorescent potassium indicator

ION Potassium Green - 1, potassium indicator, membrane permeable. Formerly known as Asante Potassium Green - 1 (APG-1). Compatible with a wide variety of detectors including fluorescent microscopes, plate readers, flow cytometers, and fluorescent indicator-doped solid-state sensors. Excitation: 525 nm | Emission: 545 nm | Kd: 50 mM The IPG family of indicators are the best-in-class replacements for the legacy K⁺ indicator, PBFI. Unlike PBFI, the spectral properties of the IPG family of K⁺ indicators make them convenient to use with common filter sets (e.g. YFP and FITC) as well as multiphoton approaches, and the range of K⁺ affinities make them useful for applications as diverse as extracellular K⁺ sensing to monitoring intracellular K⁺ dynamics. These molecules are small, synthetic fluorochromes which incorporate a K⁺-binding moiety. Under conditions where K⁺ is not bound, the fluorescence of the sensor is significantly quenched. When K⁺ is bound, the quenching is relieved, and the fluorescence of the sensor dramatically increases.
