SiR Action cell imaging

The imaging of SiR action is best done using standard Cy5 settings. After labeling, live cells can be immediately imaged without the need for washing steps. Optionally, a simple washing step includes replacing the labeled solution with fresh culture medium without probes, which typically improves the signal-to-noise ratio. If time elapses for imaging, it is recommended to keep the probe concentration equal to or lower than 100 nM throughout the experiment to obtain a constant signal ａnd avoid probe interference with actin dynamics (reducing cell proliferation). If cleaning cells

Before imaging, the staining will last for several hours.

SiR-actin具有熒光性、細胞通透性和對F-actin的高度特異性。Sir-actin染色內源性的F-actin不需要基因操作或過表達。它在遠紅光中的發射大限度地降低了光毒性和樣品的自身熒光。SiR-actin兼容GFP和/或m-cherry熒光蛋白質。它可以用標準的Cy5濾鏡進行成像。SiR-actin可用于活細胞和組織的寬視場、共聚焦、SIM或STED成像。探針數量允許50 - 200染色實驗。*（*基于以下條件:0.5 - 1ml染色液/ 0.5 - 1um探針濃度的染色實驗。染色實驗的數量可以通過減少體積或探針濃度來進一步增加）。
