Application
"Zymosan A is a compound prepared from yeast cell walls and commonly used to induce inflammatory responses, especially phagocytosis. BioTracker™ Orange Zymosan Phagocytosis Live Cell Probe is Zymosan A labeled with an orange acidic pH indicator.
The fluorescence of this indicator is especially enhanced in an acidic environment such as that found in phagosomes or other acidic organelles. SCT203 is therefore a useful probe for the observaton of phagocytosis via its fluorescence increase, which can be only observed after phagocytosis. This probe emits fluorescence when excited by 532 or 514 nm sources, in addition to others compatible with the excitation range.
Spectral Properties
Absorbance (max): 535 nm
Emission (max): 568 nm (Orange)"
Features and Benefits
This live cell imaging probe is zymosan conjugated to fluorescent orange dye & can be used to detect phagocytosis using fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
Storage and Stability
Store BioTracker™ Orange Zymosan Phagocytosis Live Cell Probe at -20°C, desiccated and protected from light. Centrifuge vial briefly to collect contents at bottom of vial before opening. Storing as a solution is not recommended.
