<strong>BD</strong> Calcium Assay Kits<br />

• No-wash homogeneous assay format<br />

• Higher signal over background compared to competitive kits<br />

• PBX kit permits assays with reduced or no probenecid<br />

• Ideal for all fluorescence-based calcium flux assays<br />

A B<br />

<strong>BD</strong> Calcium Dye Kits have been optimized for detecting calcium<br />

flux in living cells. They provide increased signal-to-background in<br />

an easy-to-use no wash assay format. In most cases, the dye kits<br />

perform better than kits currently available on the market with no<br />

known interference to ligands (small molecules, peptide/proteins<br />

and lipids). Also, the “addition artifact” commonly seen in this<br />

application is significantly reduced with the new dye formulations.<br />

The <strong>BD</strong> kits can be used on different fluorescence-based readers for<br />

compound screening. In particular, the PBX-format is suitable for the<br />

<strong>BD</strong> ACTOne GPCR screening technology.<br />

Some of the cell lines successfully used with<br />

the <strong>BD</strong> Calcium Dye Kits include:<br />

• CHO cells<br />

• HEK-293 cells<br />

• Jurkat cells<br />

• HeLa cells<br />

• U2OS cells<br />

Comparison of <strong>BD</strong> Calcium Assay kits with a competitive product used with CHO and HEK-293 cells in the presence of Probenecid. Both <strong>BD</strong> kits outperform a competitive product,<br />

providing significantly higher signal over background. The example on the right also shows the absence of an “addition artifact,” a disadvantage seen using the competitive product.<br />
