Invitrogen™ Texas Red™-X 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 Texas Red-X provides red fluorescence with superior brightness
• Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, Texas Red-X phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining
• Use in Multiple Applications Texas Red-X phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations
• Texas Red-X 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: 591/608nm Superior to antibody staining Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples Cell Analysis, Cell Structure, Cytoskeleton Order Info Shipping Condition: Room Temperature
