Description

NEUROBIOTIN 350 Tracer is a tri-functional molecule designed for neuronal tracing and cell filling.

Features:

  • Bright blue fluorophore, similar in fluorescence to AMCA or Alexa Fluor® 350
  • 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
  • Biotin label can be detected using avidin or streptavidin systems with either chromogenic or fluorescence visualization methods

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

Technical Information

Similar in structure to NEUROBIOTIN 488, NEUROBIOTIN 350 is also an amine containing biotin derivative. However, it is conjugated with a bright blue fluorophore that would contrast with other green or red fluorescent markers or reagents present in the same preparation. For administration purposes NEUROBIOTIN 350 has a net positive charge and is highly soluble in a number of commonly used buffer and salt solutions.
