Fura-FF AM is a cell-permeable acetoxymethyl ester of the fluorescence calcium indicator fura-FF (potassium salt) (Item No. 20415). As fura-FF AM enters cells, it is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to produce fura-FF. Fura-FF is a difluorinated derivative of the calcium indicator fura-2 (Item Nos. 19531 | 20414). Unlike, fura-2, fura-FF has negligible magnesium sensitivity, thus reducing interference from this cation.{38261} Fura-FF also has a higher calcium dissociation constant than fura-2 (Kd(calcium) = 6 and 0.14 µM, respectively).{38261,23059} However, the spectral properties of fura-FF and fura-2 are similar with fura-FF displaying excitation/emission spectra of 365/514 nm in the absence of calcium, with a shift to 339/507 nm in the presence of a high calcium concentration.{38262} Low affinity calcium dyes, including fura-FF, are preferred for studying compartments with high concentrations of calcium, such as mitochondria, or in cell systems that have relatively low calcium buffering capacities, such as neuronal dendrites and spines.{31952,31953,31954}
