BAPTA and its derivatives are calcium chelators that are commonly used to form calcium buffers with well-defined calcium concentrations. By injecting the chelators into cells or by incubating cells with the AM ester form of the chelators, one can control the cytosolic calcium concentration, an important means to study the roles of calcium. Key advantages of these calcium chelators include relative insensitivity toward intracellular pH change and fast release of calcium.
BAPTA, tetrasodium salt is white solid, and with molecular weight is 592.85. Abbkine supplies below price/size for your choice: $38/200 mg, $285/2 g.
The BAPTA, tetrasodium salt has below features:
• Highly selective for Ca2+ over Mg2+.
• Used to control the level of extracellular Ca2+.
• More selective for Ca2+ than EDTA and EGTA.
• Its metal binding is less sensitive to pH.
