Fluorescent dyes have been used for many years to label cells for microscopy studies, and a variety of dyes in the visible fluorescence spectrum are available to label different cellular compartments and organelles. Efficient delivery of the fluorophore to the cell without excessively modifying surface proteins or perturbing cell function is the major biotechnological challenge.
VivoTrack™ is a NIR fluorescent dye with a long aliphatic tail to facilitate insertion into the lipid bilayer of the cell. With high solubility, reactivity, and excellent stability, VivoTrack dye offers superior brightness ideal for detection and longitudinal cell tracking in vivo across many applications including inflammation, immunology, and stem cell research.
This application note highlights the benefits of using VivoTrack NIR fluorescent dye in your in vivo imaging studies:
VivoTrack 680 (Explorer Kit) is a near infrared fluorescent cell labeling agent that intercalates into the plasma membrane of primary cells and cell lines. Cells are brightly labeled and retain excellent viability and function, with the near infrared wavelength of the fluorescence offering optimal in vitro and in vivo detection.
Researchers trust our in vivo imaging solutions to give them reliable, calibrated data that reveals pathway characterization and therapeutic efficacies for a broad range of indications. Our reagents, instruments, and applications support have helped hundreds of research projects over the years. And our hard-earned expertise makes us a trusted provider of pre-clinical imaging solutions— with more than 9,000 peer reviewed articles as proof.
The primary goal of preclinical imaging is to improve the odds of clinical success and reduce drug discovery and development time and costs. Advances in non-invasive in vivo imaging techniques have raised the use of animal models in drug discovery and development to a new level by enabling quick and efficient drug screening and evaluation. Read this White Paper to learn how preclinical in vivo imaging helps to ensure that smart choices are made by providing Go/No-Go decisions and de-risking drug candidates early on, significantly reducing time to the clinic and lowering costs all while maximizing biological understanding.
