Calcein Deep Red™ AM ester
Calcein AM is one the most popular fluorescent probes used for labeling and monitoring cellular functions of live cells. However, the single color of Calcein AM makes it impossible to use this valuable reagent in the multicolor applications. For example, it is impossible to use Calcein AM in combination of GFP-tranfacted cells due to the same color to GFP. To address this color limitation of Calcein AM, we have developed Calcein Orange™, Calcein Red™ and Calcein Deep Red™. These new Calcein AM ester enables the multicolor labeling and functional analysis of live cells in combination with Calcein AM. Non-fluorescent Calcein Deep Red™ AM ester can easily get into live cells and hydrolyzes to generate strongly fluorescent Calcein Deep Red™ (Cat#: 21902) dye. Calcein Deep Red™ dye can be monitored with the common Cy5 filter set.
Flow Cytometry Analysis of Jurkat cells stained with Calcein Deep Red™ AM ester (Cat#22011). Jurkat cells were washed once with HH buffer and stained with 2 uM Calcein Deep Red™ AM ester (Cat#22011) in HH with 0.02% PF-127(Cat#20053) and 1mM PBC (Cat# 20061) for 30 minutes at 37C incubator. Cells were then washed with HH buffer and resuspended in HH buffer. The fluorescence intensities of Live cells (healthy, Red) and Dead cells (treated in 55°C water bath for 30 minutes, Green) were measured with NovoCyte 3000 flow cytometer using blue laser APC emission channel.
