MQAE | BMD00008

Product Overwiew:

MQAE is an improved chloride indicator that has greater sensitivity to chloride than SPQ (Ksv=118 M-1) and higher fluorescence quantum yield.

Background:

MQAE (N-(Ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-6-methoxyquinolinium bromide) is an improved chloride indicator that has greater sensitivity to chloride (Ksv= 200M-1) than SPQ (Ksv=118 M-1) and higher fluorescence quantum yield. The ester group of MQAE may slowly hydrolyze inside cells, resulting in a change in its fluorescence response.

Used for:

N/A

Kit components:

N/A

Features & Benefits:

• MQAE has high water solubility and membrane permeability.
• MQAE with bromide ion as a counteranion has fluorescence excitation at 350 nm and emission at 460 nm.
• The fluorescent intensity of MQAE decreases in proportion to the chloride increase in cells.
• Chloride ion concentrations less than 50 mM may be monitored without being affected by pH changes.

Usage Notes:

• The recommended concentration of stock solution is 10 μM/L. It’s soluble in buffer which do not contain Cl-.
• Factors influencing the titer of the product mainly includes the temperature, ionic strength, viscosity, protein, etc.
