Product Information
| Description: | BAPTA tetrasodium is a selective chelator for calcium. BAPTA tetrasodium, as calcium indicator, has high selectivity against magnesium and calcium. BAPTA tetrasodium is widely used as an intracellular buffer for investigating the effects of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores or influx via Ca2+-permeable channels in the plasma membrane. BAPTA tetrasodium can also inhibit phospholipase C activity independently of their role as Ca2+ chelators. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
