Product Overview :
Iron is the most abundant transition metal element in living organisms and participates in numerous physiological processes. In recent years, intracellular labile iron ions have attracted increasing attention due to their high reactivity and association with cellular injury and death. Intracellular iron exists primarily in stable Fe2+ and Fe3+ forms. Considering the intracellular reducing environment, metal transport mechanisms, and the higher solubility of Fe2+, understanding Fe2+ behavior is particularly important.
This kit provides a fluorescent probe that specifically binds Fe2+. The probe readily penetrates cell membranes and is suitable for detecting Fe2+ in living cells. Upon reaction with Fe2+, the probe generates an irreversible orange-red fluorescent product (excitation: 542 nm; emission: 575 nm).
