SBFI K+ SALT
 

Ratiometric sodium (Na+) indicator, membrane impermeable.
 

SBFI is a UV-excitable, ratiometric green indicator for intracellular sodium (Na+) measurements. Ex/Em: 340/505 nm can be used to measure Na+-bound SBFI, and Ex/Em: 380/505 nm can be used to detect Na+-free SBFI. It is ~18X more selective for Na+ over K+. Ratiometry is optimal for imaging applications where quantification of intracellular Na+ concentrations is desired, and reduces effects of photobleaching, heterogenous dye loading, and variable cell morphology.

SBFI K+ salt is a membrane impermeable form of SBFI that can be used in lipid membrane-free systems, in liposomes, or can be introduced into cells by electroporation, microinjection or other methods.
