Descripción

General description

Iron, the most abundant transition metal in our bodies, is involved in a number of biologically important processes such as respiration, oxygen transport, and energy production in collaboration with oxygen. In living cells, iron exists mainly as ferrous (Fe2+) and ferric (Fe3+) ionic forms. As a major contributor to oxidative damage of cells, Fe2+ is implicated in serious diseases such as cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, because of its ability to produce harmful reactive oxygen species via contact with oxygen, superoxide, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).BioTracker FerroOrange Live Cell Dye is an orange fluorescent probe that specifically detects labile iron (II) ions (Fe2+) only. The intensity of fluorescence does not increase in the presence of iron (III) ions (Fe3+) or bivalent metal ions other than iron. It also does not react to chelated iron in ferritin and other substances. FerroOrange is suitable for live-cell imaging because it is highly cell-permeable and has low cell toxicity.Spectral Properties:Absorbance (max): 542 nmEmission (max): 572 nmResearch Category:Live Cell Dye
