Invitrogen™ BODIPY™ 558/568 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 BODIPY 558/568 provides red fluorescence with superior brightness
• Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, BODIPY 558/568 phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining
• Selectively stains F-actin Outstanding fluorescence performance Excitation/Emission: 558/569nm Superior to antibody staining Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples Fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses including fluorescent proteins, Qdottrademark (TM) nanocrystals, and other Alexa Fluor conjugates including secondary antibodies Cell Analysis, Cell Structure, Cytoskeleton
• Used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations
