A PVAc-Based Benzophenone-8 Filter as an Alternative to Commercially Available Dichroic Filters for Monitoring Calcium Activity in Live Neurons via Fura-2 AM

A PVAc-Based Benzophenone-8 Filter as an Alternative to Commercially Available Dichroic Filters for Monitoring Calcium Activity in Live Neurons via Fura-2 AM

In this paper, we design, fabricate, and test a PVAc-based benzophenone-8 (PVAcB-8) emission filter to monitor calcium changes in live neurons. We loaded neurons with fura-2 AM, a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye, which has dual excitation wavelengths at 340 nm, 380 nm with ratiometric emission at...
