CellVue® Claret Mini Kit For Membrane Labeling

The CellVue^® Claret cell linker Mini Kit uses proprietary membrane labeling technology to stably incorporate a fluorescent dye with long aliphatic tails (CellVue^® Claret) 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^® Claret, a far red fluorescent cell linker (Figure 1) has been reported to be useful for in vitro cell labeling and in vitro cell proliferation studies ⁽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^® Claret dye stock (1 vial containing 0.1 ml, 1 X 10-3 M in ethanol)
• Diluent (1 vial containing 10 ml)

The CellVue^® Claret Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit contains a 1mM dye stock solution and cell labeling diluent. Dye fluorescence properties: Ex max=655nm and Em max=675nm. Provides stable labeling of the lipid regions of cell membranes.
