NEUROBIOTIN® 488 Tracer

NEUROBIOTIN 488 Tracer is a tri-functional molecule designed for neuronal tracing and cell filling.

Features:

• Bright green fluorophore, similar in fluorescence to fluorescein, Cy2 or Alexa Fluor® 488
• Biotin label with a biotinidase-resistant linkage
• Fixable primary amine
• Used for visualizing neural architecture and for the identification of gap junction coupling
• Can be used in many types of preparations including in vivo, whole mounts, slice preparations, or cultured cells
• Can be delivered by many routes such as intracellular electrodes, microinjection, cut-loading, or scrape-loading

Advantages of NEUROBIOTIN Tracer over biocytin and other neuronal labels:

• Better solubility
• More efficiently iontophoresed
• Remains in cell longer
• Non-toxic
• Can be fixed with formalin or glutaraldehyde
