Calcium measurement is critical for numerous biological investigations. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding calcium have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free calcium concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers. Fluo-3, pentaammonium salt is most commonly used among the visible light-excitable calcium indicators.
Fluo-3 (potassium salt) is a fluorescent calcium indicator commonly used in flow cytometry and cell-based experiments to detect changes in intracellular calcium levels. Its absorption maximum at 506 nm makes it compatible with excitation at 488 nm by argon-ion laser sources. Fluo-3 provides intense fluorescence upon binding calcium, detected at a maximum emission at 526 nm which can be monitored by FL1 (green, 525 nm band pass) sensors in flow cytometry.

3-Morpholinobenzanthrone serves as a fluorescent membrane probe, characterized by higher excited-state dipole moment values compared to those in the ground-state [1].
Cyanine 3 Tyramide (Tyramide-Cy3), an orange fluorescent dye, serves as a reporter fluorescent substrate in horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed deposition for signal amplification in immunoassays and in situ nucleic acid hybridization.
DiI iodide1 is one of lipophilic fluorescent stains for labeling membranes and other hydrophobic structures. The fluorescence of these environment-sensitive dyes is greatly enhanced when incorporated into membranes or bound to lipophilic biomolecules such as proteins although they are weakly fluorescent in water.

7-Hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid, SE is the amine-reactive succinimidyl ester of 7-Hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid. This coumarin is also increasingly used to label peptides, nucleotides and carbohydrates.
HKOCl-3 is a fluorescent probe characterized by its high sensitivity and selectivity for hypochlorous acid detection, featuring an excitation wavelength (Ex) of 490 nm and an emission wavelength (Em) of 527 nm.
