Protocol summary
- Prepare samples
- Add 100 µL/well of 1X Track It™ Red working solution
- Stain cells at 37°C for 15 minutes to 1 hour
- Wash cells
- Examine the specimen under microscope with Texas Red filter sets
Important notes
Thaw all the components to room temperature. Centrifuge component A briefly before opening.
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTION
1. Track It™ Red DMSO stock solution (500X):
Add 50 µL DMSO (Component C) into the vial of Component A. Note: The unused portion of the Track It™ Red stock solution should be aliquoted as a single used vials stored at -20 oC. Avoid light and repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
Dilute 500X Track It™ Red DMSO stock solution into Assay Buffer (Component B). For example, to get a 1X final concentration of Track It™ Red working solution for one 96-well microplate, dilute 20 µL of the Track It™ Red DMSO stock solution into 10 mL of Assay Buffer (Component B). Note: The final concentration of the Track It™ Red working solution should be empirically determined for different cell types and/or experimental conditions. It is recommended to test at the concentrations that are at least over a ten fold range. Note: The working solution should be prepared and used promptly. Keep from light.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
- Remove the cell medium, and add 100 µL/well (for 96 well plate) of 1X Track It™ Red working solution.
- Incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
- Wash cells with Hanks and 20 mM Hepes buffer (HHBS) or an appropriate buffer.
- Fill the cell wells with growth medium or fix the cells (optional).
- Analyze the cells using a fluorescence microscope with Texas Red filter sets or flow cytometer with 610/20 nm filter (PE-Texas Red channel).
