Imaging CFP-expressing cells with the Sapphire FL

There is some evidence that green fluorescent protein (GFP) can be more toxic to cells than cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) or yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). This suggests that CFP or YFP might be better options when making stable clones for tracking cells in long-term in vivo studies. Azure Biosystems demonstrates imaging of CFP-expressing cultured cells with the Sapphire™ FL Biomolecular Imager using the Sapphire’s 450 Standard Optical Module. Discover how features of the Sapphire FL make it an ideal choice for imaging cells and model organisms expressing CFP or other fluorescent reporter proteins.
