Fluorescent Ion Indicators
Ion indicators are small molecules that are used to detect changes in ionic gradients in cells. The detection of metal ions often involves chelation, where the indicator forms a complex with the target metal ion, leading to a chemical or physical change in the indicator that can be analysed with spectroscopic or electrochemical techniques.

Fluorescent ion indicators provide valuable insights into the effects of drug compounds on cell ion gradients and are compatible with high throughput screening assays. They can be used to identify novel compounds that modulate ion channel activity, understand drug mechanisms of action, and monitor ion dynamics with high sensitivity and selectivity.
