Description

Description: Our Cell Explorer™ fluorescence imaging kits are a set of tools for labeling cells for fluorescence microscopic investigations of cellular functions. The effective labeling of cells provides a powerful method for studying cellular events in a spatial and temporal context. This particular kit is designed to uniformly label live cells in red fluorescence for the studies that require the fluorescent tag molecules retained inside cells for relatively longer time. The cells can be fixed to retain the imaging pattern. The kit uses a weakly fluorescent dye that carries a cell-retaining moiety. The dye becomes strongly fluorescent upon entering into live cells, and trapped inside live cells to give a stable fluorescence signal for relatively long time. The dye is a hydrophobic compound that easily permeates intact live cells. The labeling process is robust, requiring minimal hands-on time. It can be readily adapted for a wide variety of fluorescence platforms such as microplate assays, immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. It is useful for a variety of studies, including cell adhesion, chemotaxis, multidrug resistance, cell viability, apoptosis and cytotoxicity. The kit provides all the essential components with an optimized cell-labeling protocol.
