ViaFluor® Live Cell Microtubule Stains
Cell-permeant probes for imaging the microtubule cytoskeleton in live cells. Available with blue, green, or far-red fluorescence.
ViaFluor® Live Cell Microtubule Stains are cell-permeant probes for imaging the microtubule cytoskeleton in live cells. They are simple, rapid and sensitive stains that can be imaged without a wash step.
- Cell-permeant fluorescent microtubule probes
- Rapid, sensitive, no-wash stains for live cells
- Available with blue, green, or far-red fluorescence
- ViaFluor® 647 dye compatible with SIM or STED
ViaFluor® Live Cell Microtubule Stains bind to polymerized tubulin and may be used to visualize microtubules in live cells for up to 24 hours in immortalized cell types. However, the probes may show cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest with longer incubation times. The stains are supplied as a 1000X stock solutions in DMSO, and include a vial of 100 mM VRP, an efflux pump inhibitor that may improve probe retention and staining in some cell types.
ViaFluor® Live Cell Microtubule Stains cannot be fixed after staining, and cannot be used with fixed cells or tissues. The probes are not predicted to bind bacterial or yeast microtubules.
