The CellVue® Jade cell linker kit uses proprietary membrane labeling technology to stably incorporate a fluorescent dye with long aliphatic tails (CellVue® Jade) 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 Jade®, a green fluorescent cell linker (Figure 1) is expected to be useful for cell tracking applications.
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® Jade dye stock (2 vials containing 0.1 ml, 1 X 10-3 M in ethanol), Diluent (6 vials containing 10 ml)
The CellVue® Jade Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit contains a 1mM dye stock solution and cell labeling diluent. Dye fluorescence properties: Ex max=478nm and Em max=508nm. Provides stable labeling of the lipid regions of cell membranes.
