Tubulite™ Deep Red
Cell-Permeable

Tubulite™ Deep Red is a robust tool for fluorescent visualization of tubulin structures in live cells. This cell-permeable probe enables real-time imaging of tubulin dynamics, bypassing the need for cell fixation and allowing continuous assessment of tubulin polymerization and organization. The probe’s deep red fluorescence and high cellular permeability facilitate its use in multiplexed imaging applications, including co-staining with GFP and nuclear dyes such as DAPI. Upon cellular entry, Tubulite™ Deep Red is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases, removing its lipophilic blocking group to produce a charged, membrane-impermeant form that is well-retained within cells. Tubulite™ Deep Red is not generally recommended for studies of dynamic cellular processes, as it may interfere with key cellular functions, including tubulin activity and cell division. Additionally, it is unsuitable for fixed-cell imaging, as fluorescence is lost during cell fixation.

Imaging of Tubulin in Live HeLa Cells: HeLa cells were co-labeled with Tubulite™ Red and DAPI (Cat# 17507) and incubated for 60 minutes at 37°C in a 5% CO₂ atmosphere. Fluorescence imaging was performed using a fluorescence microscope equipped with a Cy5 filter set.
