The CellVue® Burgundy cell linker kit uses proprietary membrane labeling technology to stably incorporate a fluorescent dye with long aliphatic tails (CellVue® Burgundy) into lipid regions of the cell membrane (1). The pattern of staining is dependent upon the cell type being labeled and the membranes of the cells (2, 3). CellVue® Burgundy, a far red/near infrared fluorescent cell linker has been reported to be useful for cell tracking in isolated organ preparations applications (4).
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? Burgundy dye stock (1 vial containing 0.2 ml, 1 x 10-3 in ethanol), Diluent ( 6 x 10 ml vials)
