Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ Plus 647 Phalloidin

Description

• For the best possible sensitivity and specificity, Alexa Fluor Plus 647 Phalloidin is synthesized to maximize the units of Alexa Fluor Plus 647 Phalloidin per length of F-actin
• • Selectively stains F-actin with 2–3 times the sensitivity of Alexa Fluor 647 Phalloidin • Outstanding fluorescence performance for sharp actin cytoskeleton images • Excitation/emission: 650/668 nm
• Compatible with standard Cy5/deep red/far red filter set or laser settings • More sensitive and specific than antibody staining against actin • Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples Enables superior results in your actin staining studies Phalloidin is a bi-cyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins originating from the deadly Amanita phalloides 'death cap' mushroom and commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin
• Fluorescently-labeled phalloidin has several advantages over antibodies for actin labeling, including virtually identical binding properties with actin from different species of plants and animals, and low non-specific binding
• Phalloidin binds F-actin with high selectivity, while Alexa Fluor Plus 647 dye provides Cy5/far red fluorescence of unparalleled brightness and photostability
• Use in multiple applications Alexa Fluor Plus 647 Phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations
• Its staining is fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses, including fluorescent proteins, Qdot nanocrystals, and other Alexa Fluor conjugates including secondary antibodies.
