Oregon Green 488 dye is a bright, green-fluorescent dye with excitation ideally suited to the 488 nm laser line. It has a high extinction coefficient and fluorescence quantum yield and while it is pH insensitive in the physiological range, with a pKa of 4.6 it can be used to monitor pH change in acidic organelles or pathways.
Oregon Green 488 dye forms the base of a number of ion indicators used for physiological analysis, including calcium.
We offer Oregon Green 488 dye conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection. In addition, reactive dye forms and protein labeling kits are available to allow you to generate your own protein. conjugates or probes.

Alexa Fluor 488 dye is a bright, green-fluorescent dye with excitation and emission wavelengths similar to those of Oregon Green 488 dye. For stable signal generation in imaging and flow cytometry, Alexa Fluor 488 dye is pH-insensitive over a wide concentration range.
For pH monitoring, the pHrodo green dye is almost nonfluorescent at neutral pH and fluoresces brightly in acidic environments. Unlike fluorescein, the minimal dye fluorescence at neutral pH also eliminates the need for wash steps and quencher dyes because any non-internalized dye will be essentially nonfluorescent.
Calcium flux assays are widely used for in-cell determination of agonist-stimulated signaling pathways and functional neuronal measurement. Oregon Green probes emit green fluorescence at resting levels of Ca2+ and increase their fluorescence intensity up to 14-fold with increasing Ca2+ concentration. The fluo series of calcium indicators emits minimal fluorescence at resting levels of Ca2+, and each increases its fluorescence intensity up to >100-fold with increasing Ca2+ concentration.
