概述

即用型免洗Fluo-4钙离子实时检测试剂盒是精准检测细胞内钙离子浓度及动态变化的专业工具,为细胞生物学研究、疾病机制探索及药物研发提供关键技术支持。


钙是哺乳动物体内含量最丰富的矿物质,同时也是调控众多细胞生命活动的关键内源性因子。它主要以两种形式存在:自由离子形式与结合钙离子复合物形式 (如构成骨骼组织的磷酸钙、碳酸钙复合物)。从肌肉收缩、细胞粘附、激素/神经递质释放,到糖原代谢、细胞增殖/分化、血凝及神经突触传递,再到骨骼结构支持,大量生理过程均依赖钙信号的精准调控。一旦细胞特异性钙信号系统的完整性受损,便可能诱发多种疾病,因此精准检测细胞内钙离子浓度及动态变化具有重要科研与应用价值。


本试剂盒以Fluo-4 AM钙离子荧光探针为核心检测成分 (Fluo-4 AM是在Fluo-3 AM基础上升级的钙离子浓度指示剂),其检测原理如下:Fluo-4 AM本身无荧光特性,进入细胞后会被胞内酯酶水解为Fluo-4;Fluo-4 可与细胞内钙离子特异性结合,结合后会发出绿色荧光。当细胞外钙离子内流、细胞内储存钙离子释放,或细胞内钙离子外流/储存时,会导致细胞质内钙离子浓度升高或降低,进而引起绿色荧光强度相应增强或减弱,通过监测荧光强度变化,即可实现对细胞内钙离子浓度动态变化的实时检测。


此外,该试剂盒适配荧光显微镜、荧光酶标仪、流式细胞仪等多种检测平台,具有荧光信号更强、检测灵敏度更高的优势,可同时满足细胞内钙离子浓度定量检测与动态变化监测的需求。


注:效能等同Thermo Fisher Fluo-4 Calcium Imaging Kit。

在荧光显微镜下:

图1为加入离子霉素的Hela细胞在同一视野下的动态变化,在荧光显微镜下观察细胞内绿色荧光的分布以及强度情况。当细胞受刺激而让钙离子浓度出现上升,那么Fluo-4标记细胞的荧光强度会明显变强,可实现对细胞内钙离子浓度的动态变化的实时监测。


常见疑问与解答:

1、问:为什么没有检测到荧光值或荧光值低?

答:可能是因为细胞密度不够,可增加细胞密度;同时也可以考虑延长孵育时间。


2、问:Fluo-4孵育后发现细胞死亡太多怎么办?

答:首先应评估染料的浓度和处理时间是否合适。Fluo-4 AM虽然相对较为安全,但过高的浓度或过长的染色时间仍可能导致细胞损伤。建议降低染料浓度或缩短染色时间,并在实验过程中密切观察细胞状态。



The Ready-to-Use Wash-Free Fluo-4 Calcium Ion Real-Time Detection Kit is a professional tool for the accurate measurement of intracellular calcium ion concentration and dynamic changes. It provides key technical support for cell biology research, disease mechanism investigation, and drug development.


Calcium is the most abundant mineral in mammals and a critical endogenous factor regulating numerous cellular activities. It exists mainly in two forms: free ionic calcium and calcium-binding complexes (e.g., calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate complexes in bone tissue). Many physiological processes rely on precise regulation of calcium signaling, including muscle contraction, cell adhesion, hormone/neurotransmitter release, glycogen metabolism, cell proliferation/differentiation, blood coagulation, synaptic transmission, and structural support of bone. Impairment of the integrity of cell-specific calcium signaling systems may induce multiple diseases. Therefore, accurate detection of intracellular calcium concentration and dynamics has important scientific and application value.


This kit uses Fluo-4 AM calcium fluorescent probe as the core component (an improved calcium indicator based on Fluo-3 AM). Its detection principle is as follows:Fluo-4 AM is non-fluorescent by itself. After entering cells, it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases into Fluo-4, which specifically binds to intracellular calcium ions and emits strong green fluorescence upon binding.Influx of extracellular calcium, release of calcium from intracellular stores, or calcium efflux/sequestration causes increases or decreases in cytoplasmic calcium concentration, leading to corresponding changes in green fluorescence intensity. By monitoring fluorescence intensity, real-time detection of dynamic changes in intracellular calcium concentration is achieved.


In addition, this kit is compatible with fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence microplate readers, flow cytometers, and other platforms. It features stronger fluorescence signals and higher sensitivity, supporting both quantitative detection and dynamic monitoring of intracellular calcium.


Note: Performance equivalent to Thermo Fisher Fluo-4 Calcium Imaging Kit.

Instructions for Use

I. Pre-Experiment Preparation

1. Working Solution Preparation

(1) Remove the kit and equilibrate to room temperature.

(2) Taking a 96‑well plate as an example, for a 100 µL Fluo‑4 Staining Working Solution system per well, first add Fluo‑4 AM and Solubility Enhancer, mix thoroughly, then add Component C (Assay Buffer). (For other plate formats, the volume of staining working solution per well is as follows: 150 μL/well for 48‑well plates, 250 μL/well for 24‑well plates, 500 μL/well for 12‑well plates, 1 mL/well for 6‑well plates.)

During use, dilute Component D at a ratio of 1:100 into the staining working solution to prepare staining working solution containing 1× Staining Enhancer.

Note: The incubation time of cells in solution containing 1× Staining Enhancer must not exceed 2 h.

(2) Add 100 µL of Fluo-4 Staining Working Solution to each well of a 96‑well plate, incubate at 37 ℃ for 30 min in the dark. Incubation time can be adjusted from 10-60 min; rapid staining in 10 min preserves cell viability and simplifies the procedure.

Note: If incubation temperature and time are uncertain for the first experiment, incubate at 37 ℃ for 30 min and observe fluorescence. Shorten time if excessive cell death occurs; extend time if fluorescence intensity is too low.

Note: This kit is a wash-free detection system. No washing is required before detection. Optional washing 1-3 times with Component C, PBS or HBSS is allowed after incubation.


4. Microscopic Observation and Imaging

III. Result Interpretation

Qualitative Analysis (Microscopy)

Figure 1. Dynamic changes of intracellular calcium concentration in Hela cells


Under fluorescence microscopy:

Figure 1 shows dynamic changes in Hela cells stimulated with ionomycin in the same field. The distribution and intensity of green fluorescence in cells are observed.When cells are stimulated and intracellular calcium concentration increases, the fluorescence intensity of Fluo-4 labeled cells is significantly enhanced, allowing real‑time monitoring of dynamic changes in intracellular calcium concentration.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: No fluorescence signal or low fluorescence value detected?

A: Possible low cell density; increase cell number. Alternatively, extend the incubation time.


2. Q: Excessive cell death after Fluo-4 incubation?

A: First evaluate dye concentration and incubation time. Although Fluo-4 AM is relatively safe, excessively high concentration or prolonged staining may cause cell damage. It is recommended to reduce dye concentration or shorten staining time, and closely monitor cell status during the experiment.
