Notes

ER Staining Kit - Red Fluorescence | Cytopainter (ab139482) contains an endoplasmic reticulum-selective red dye suitable for live cell, or detergent-permeabilized aldehyde-fixed cell staining. Micromolar concentrations of the red dye are sufficient for staining mammalian cells, as validated with human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa, human T-lymphocyte cell line Jurkat and human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line, U2OS. (Ex/Em = 580/677 nm).

One important application of the ER staining kit is in fluorescence co-localization imaging with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged proteins, a powerful approach for determining the targeting of molecules to intracellular compartments and for screening of their associations and interactions.

The ER staining kit is specifically designed for use with GFP-expressing cell lines, as well as cells expressing blue, cyan or yellow fluorescent proteins (BFPs, CFPs, YFPs). Additionally, the kit is suitable for use with live or post-fixed cells in conjunction with probes, such as labeled antibodies, or other fluorescent conjugates displaying similar spectral properties as fluorescein, or coumarin.

A nuclear counterstain is also included in the kit.

Explore our range of organelle-specific antibodies and dyes and discover why our reagents are deeply trusted by cell biologists.

This kit can be readily used in combination with other common UV and visible light excitable organic fluorescent dyes and various fluorescent proteins in multi-color imaging and detection applications. The dye emits in the Texas Red region of the visible light spectrum, and is resistant to photo-bleaching, concentration quenching and photoconversion.
