The CellVue® NIR815 cell linker Mini Kit uses proprietary membranelabeling technology to stably incorporate a fluorescent dye with longaliphatic tails ( CellVue® NIR815) into lipid regions of the cellmembrane (1). The pattern of staining is dependent upon the cell typebeing labeled and the membranes of the cells (2, 3). CellVue® NIR815, anear infrared fluorescent cell linker has been reported to be useful forin vitro cell proliferation studies (4) and cell tracking in isolatedorgan preparations applications (5). Label cell membranes with lipophilic dyes that emit in the long wavelength UV, the far red or the near infrared region of the spectrum.
Advantages:
- Reduced autofluorescence background
- Greater S/N
- Greater ability to multiplex with visible probes due to minimal spectral overlap
- Excellent for use in combination with other cell tracking probes such as CFSE or PKH26
Kit Contains: CellVue® NIR815 dye stock (1 vial containing 0.1 ml, 1 X 10-3 M in ethanol), Diluent (1 vial containing 10 ml)
The CellVue® NIR815 Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit contains a 1mM dye stock solution and cell labeling diluent. Dye fluorescence properties: Ex max=786nm and Em max=814nm. Provides stable labeling of the lipid regions of cell membranes.
