Tubulite™ Red
Cell-Permeable

Tubulite™ 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 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™ 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™ 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.

Detection of Tubulin in HeLa Cells: HeLa cells were co-labeled with Tublite™ Red and DAPI (AAT Bioquest Cat# 17507) for 60 minutes in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO₂. Fluorescence intensity was measured using a fluorescence microscope with the Cy3 channel.
