The understanding of cellular Cd accumulation and toxicity is hampered by a lack of fluorescent indicators selective for intracellular free Cd ([Cd]). In this study, we used depolarized MIN6 mouse pancreatic beta cells as a model for evaluating [Cd] detection with commercially available fluorescent probes, most of which have been traditionally used to visualize [Ca] and [Zn]. We trialed a panel of 12 probes including fura-2, FluoZin-3, Leadmium Green, Rhod-5N, indo-1, Fluo-5N, and others.
