Biological Activity

Rhod-2 AM is a fluorescent, mitochondrial probe (λex=552 nm, λem=581 nm). Rhod-2 AM is cell-permeable version of Rhod-2. The long-wavelength Rhod-2 Ca2+ indicators are valuable alternatives to Fluo-3 for experiments in cells and tissues that have high levels of autofluorescence. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding Ca2+ have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers.


PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Rhod-2 AM Stock Solution
Prepare a 2 to 5 mM stock solution of Rhod-2 AM in high-quality, anhydrous DMSO.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

Rhod-2 AM Working Solution
On the day of the experiment, either dissolve Rhod-2 AM in DMSO or thaw an aliquot of the indicator stock solution to room temperature. Prepare a dye working solution of 2 to 20 µM in a buffer of your choice (e.g., Hanks and Hepes buffer) with 0.04% Pluronic® F-127. For most cell lines, Rhod-2 AM at a final concentration of 4-5 μM is recommended. The exact concentration of indicators required for cell loading must be determined empirically.
Note The nonionic detergent Pluronic® F-127 is sometimes used to increase the aqueous solubility of Rhod-2 AM.
Note If your cells contain organic anion-transporters, probenecid (1-2 mM) may be added to the dye working solution (final in well concentration will be 0.5-1 mM) to reduce leakage of the de-esterified indicators.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

Following is our recommended protocol for loading AM esters into live cells. This protocol only provides a guideline and should be modified according to your specific needs.
  1. Prepare cells in growth medium overnight.
  2. On the next day, add 1X Rhod-2 AM working solution into your cell plate.
    Note If your compound(s) interfere with the serum, replace the growth medium with fresh HHBS buffer before dye-loading.
  3. Incubate the dye-loaded plate in a cell incubator at 37 °C for 30 to 60 minutes.
    Note Incubating the dye for longer than 1 hour can improve signal intensities in certain cell lines.
  4. Replace the dye working solution with HHBS or buffer of your choice (containing an anion transporter inhibitor, such as 1 mM probenecid, if applicable) to remove any excess probes.
  5. Add the stimulant as desired and simultaneously measure fluorescence using either a fluorescence microscope equipped with a TRITC filter set or a fluorescence plate reader containing a programmable liquid handling system such as an FDSS, FLIPR, or FlexStation, at Ex/Em = 540/590 nm cutoff 570 nm.

Copper probe CF4

Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is a Cu+-specific fluorescent probe based on a rhodol dye scaffold. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) has high copper selectivity with a Kd value of 2.9×10-13 M, particularly over zinc and iron, as well as abundant cellular alkali and alkaline earth metals. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is stable in a physiologically relevant pH regime between 6 and 8 (wavelengths of 415 nm for excitation and 660 nm for emission). Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) can be used to study colon cancer.

Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate

Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate selectively binds to F-actins. Used at nanomolar concentrations, phalloidin derivatives are convenient probes for labeling, identifying and quantitating F-actins in formaldehyde-fixed and permeabilized tissue sections, cell cultures or cell-free experiments.

HBC530

HBC530 is a GFP fluorophore-like synthetic dye, with a structurally rigid electron acceptor and a strong electron donor. HBC is nonfluorescent in solution, and when combined with Pepper (RNA aptamer), HBC forms a tight complex and activates and emits bright fluorescence (Kd of ~3.5 nM). HBC emission peaks vary in different complexes and covers the spectrum from cyan to red. HBC can be used in the live cell imaging of RNA (Em/Ex = 530/485 nm).

2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein

2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH2) is a non-fluorescent reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe with an excitation wavelength of 485-500 nm and an emission wavelength of 515-530 nm. 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein is first hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases and then oxidized by ROS to generate non-biomembrane-permeable, highly fluorescent 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein can undergo oxidation reactions with a variety of ROS (such as ·OH, H2O2, ONOO-, etc.) and is used to quantitatively detect the level of oxidative stress inside and outside cells. The fluorescence intensity of DCF is positively correlated with the ROS concentration.

4-MUNANA

4-MUNANA is a substrate of influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) with high selectivity and irreversible reaction. In the enzymatic reaction, 4-MUNANA is hydrolyzed by NA to generate fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU). By detecting the fluorescence intensity of 4-MU, quantitative analysis of NA activity can be achieved.
