A novel method of determining the apparent dissociation constants of fluorescent calcium indicators is described which utilizes Chelex-100 ion exchange resin and 45Ca. The affinity for calcium of indicators fluo-3, fura-2 and indo-1 measured at either 22.degree. or 37.degree. C decreases as pH is decreased from 7.4 to 5.5. These measurements agree with determinations made using EDTA-calcium buffers. The 1:1 calcium:indicator complex is maintained under all conditions. The necessity to correct dissociation constants during intracellular acidification to properly interpret fluorescence measurements is illustrated by indo-1 measurements in the ischemic rat heart.
