- Instructions For Use
- Staining of Live Cells
1. Grow cells of interest under conditions specific for the cell type.
2. Replace growth media with 1x staining solution (diluted in fresh growth media) and incubate at 37oC for 15 minutes.
3. Rinse cells with 1x phosphate buffered saline (prewarmed to 37oC).
4. Aspirate phosphate buffered saline and add fresh growth media to cells (prewarmed to 37oC).
5. Image cells.
Staining of Fixed Cells
1. Grow cells of interest under conditions specific for the cell type.
2. Rinse cells with 1x phosphate buffered saline.
3. Fix cells with 4% formaldehyde at room temperature for 10 minutes.
4. Optional: Rinse cells with 1x phosphate buffered saline and permeabilize them with 0.1% Triton X-100 in 1x phosphate buffered saline at room temperature for 5 minutes.
5. Rinse cells with 1x phosphate buffered saline.
6. Stain with 1x staining solution (diluted with phosphate buffered saline) at room temperature for 15 minutes.
7. Rinse cells with 1x phosphate buffered saline.
8. Optional: Remove phosphate buffered saline and mount cells in antifade-mounting media.
