CellVue® NIR815 Kit For Membrane Labeling - MIDI Kit

The CellVue® NIR815 cell linker Midi Kit uses proprietary membrane labeling technology to stably incorporate a fluorescent dye with long aliphatic tails (CellVue® NIR815) 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® NIR815, a near infrared fluorescent cell linker has been reported to be useful for in vitro cell proliferation studies ⁽⁴⁾ and cell tracking in isolated organ 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 0.2 ml, 1 X 10^-3 M in ethanol), Diluent (6 vials 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.
