Cell Navigator(TM) Live Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Staining Kit *Blue Fluorescence*

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a type of organelle in the cells of eukaryotic organisms that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae. The membranes of the ER are continuous with the outer nuclear membrane. ER occurs in most types of eukaryotic cells, but is absent from red blood cells and spermatozoa. This Cell Navigator(TM) Live Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Staining Kit uses our ER Tracer(TM) Blue as an ER marker. ER Tracer(TM) Blue stain is a cell-permeant fluorescent dye that is highly selective for ER. This stain consists of a blue fluorescent dye and ER binder that selectively bind to ER in most of cell types. For some cells, ER Tracer(TM) Blue may not selectively bind to ER. ER Tracer(TM) Blue has spectral properties similar to DAPI, making this kit convenient with the DAPI filter set.
