Invitrogen™ Live Cell Imaging Solution

Description

• The Live Cell Imaging Solution from Molecular Probes™ is a physiological medium developed for live cell imaging applications that has universal utility in cell-based research—for live cell imaging, dye loading, and wash steps
• It is an optically clear, physiological solution buffered with HEPES at pH 7.4 that keeps cells healthy for up to 4 hours at ambient atmosphere and temperature
• Compared to standard media, Live Cell Imaging Solution provides better clarity, signal-to-noise ratio, and cell viability
• Outstanding Features of Live Cell Imaging Solution: • Physiological and chemical optimization —providing the ideal solution for live cell fluorescence imaging applications • Optical clarity —affording more efficient imaging and minimal background • Extended buffering capacity compared to media —for improved cell viability Obtain Great Results with a Medium Designed to Meet the Demands of Live Cell Imaging Live cell imaging can be challenging
• Not only must staining be optimized for the particular assay readout, spectral compatibility, and signal-to-noise level, but live cell imaging of dynamic processes and cell physiology requires live observation over time
• The choice of medium is particularly important for time-lapse imaging and experiments where cells are exposed to ambient conditions for longer periods
• For reliable results, it is essential that cells be healthy and maintained as closely as possible to physiological temperature, pH, oxygen tension, and other conditions
• If cells appear unhealthy they should not be used for imaging
• Live Cell Imaging Solution has been developed specifically for live cell imaging applications; as a result, it provides image clarity (Fig 1), signal-to-noise ratio (Fig 2), and cell viability that are significantly enhanced compared to standard media
• In addition to live cell imaging, the physiological composition of the Live Cell Imaging Solution makes it ideal for other cell-based applications, such as wash steps and dye loading
