Invitrogen™ Rhodamine 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 TRITC provides red-orange fluorescence of unparalleled brightness and photostability
• Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, Rhodamine phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining
• Rhodamine phalloidin is one of the most commonly used fluorescent phalloidin conjugates in the literature, as evidenced by over 1,500 citations (maintained in our in-house database)
• Use in Multiple Applications Rhodamine phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations
• Rhodamine 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 Excitiation/Emission: 540/565nm Superior to antibody staining Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples Very widely cited fluorescent phalloidin conjugate Cell Analysis, Cell Structure, Cytoskeleton Order Info Shipping Condition: Room Temperature
