Invitrogen™ Oregon Green™ 488 Phalloidin

Description

• Get Superior Results in Actin Staining Studies Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins isolated from the deadly Amanita phalloides “death cap” mushroom and is commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin
• Fluorescently-labeled phalloidin has virtually identical binding properties with actin from different species including plants and animals
• Phalloidin binds F-actin with high selectivity while Oregon Green 488 provides green fluorescence with brightness superior to fluorescein
• Oregon Green 488 is a fluorinated analog of fluorescein with greater photostability and a lower pKa, making its fluorescence essentially pH insensitive in the physiological pH range
• Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, Oregon Green 488 phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining
• Use in Multiple Applications Oregon Green 448 phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations
• Oregon Green 448 phalloidin staining is fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses including fluorescent proteins, Qdot nanocrystals, and Alexa Fluor conjugates including secondary antibodies
• Selectively stains F-actin Outstanding fluorescence performance Excitation/Emission: 496/520nm Superior to antibody staining Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples pH insensitive under physiological conditions Cell Analysis, Cell Structure, Cell Tracing & Tracking, Cytoskeleton, Organelle Tracing Order Info Shipping Condition: Room Temperature
