The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used to measure Ca2+ inside living cells in flow cytometry, and confocal laser scanning microscopy using visible light excitation.
- Fluo-3 and derivatives have also been widely used with two-photon excitation microscopy.
- Fluo-3 is an essentially nonfluorescent compound, but upon binding of Ca2+ its fluorescence increases sharply with an emission maximum at 525 nm suitable for conventionally used detectors designed for fluorescein isothiocyanate measurements.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fluo-3 article was read about 950 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 44 and blocks with 17: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
How to get Fluo-3
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
