Cell Navigator(TM) Live Cell Tubulin Staining Kit

Cell Navigator(TM) Live Cell Tubulin Staining Kit provides a robust method to fluorescently image tubulins in live cells with Tubulite(TM) Red. The probe is permeant to live cells, thus does not require cells to be fixated for imaging tubulins. It can be conveniently used for tracking tubulin polymerization process in live cells. Its red spectral wavelengths and good cell permeability make this probe readily to use with other colors such as GFP expressed cells or nuclear dyes such as DAPI. The neutral Tubulite(TM) Red readily passes through the plasma membranes of live cells. Once inside the cells, the lipophilic blocking group is cleaved by esterases, resulting into a negatively charged product, which is well retained inside the cells.
