The acetomethoxy derivate of calcein ('''calcein AM''') is used in biology as it can be transported through the cellular membrane into live cells, which makes it useful for testing of cell ] and for short-term labeling of cells. An acetomethoxy group obscures the part of the molecule that chelates Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup> and other ions. After transport into the cells, intracellular esterases remove the acetomethoxy group, the molecule gets trapped inside and gives out strong green fluorescence.

Calcein is now rarely used as a Ca<sup>2+</sup> or Mg<sup>2+</sup> indicator because its fluorescence is directly sensitive to these ions only at strongly alkaline pH, and thus it is not particularly useful for measuring Ca<sup>2+</sup> or Mg<sup>2+</sup> in cells. Fluorescence of calcein is quenched strongly by Co<sup>2+</sup>, Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> and appreciably by Fe<sup>3+</sup> and Mn<sup>2+</sup> at physiological pH. This fluorescence quenching response can be exploited for detecting the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Calcein is commonly used for cell tracing and in studies of endocytosis and gap junctions.<ref>{{cite book |author= |chapter=Fluorescent Indicators for Zn<sup>2+</sup> and Other Metal Ions—Section 19.7 |chapterurl=http://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home/References/Molecular-Probes-The-Handbook/Indicators-for-Ca2-Mg2-Zn2-and-Other-Metal-Ions/Fluorescent-Indicators-for-Zn2-and-Other-Metal-Ions.html |title=Molecular Probes: The Handbook |publisher=invitrogen |url=http://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home/References/Molecular-Probes-The-Handbook.html }}</ref>
