Dextrans & Other Fluid Phase Tracers

Like Lucifer Yellow CH, Lucifer Yellow Cadaverine can be used as a fixable fluorescent tracer. In addition, the dye can be used to conjugate to carboxylic acid groups.

This fluorescent biotin derivative is a useful tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The biotin portion of the molecule allows researchers to amplify the fluorescent signal using standard biotin-avidin or biotin-streptavidin biochemistry.

Lucifer Yellow CH lithium salt (LY CH lithium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.

Lucifer Yellow CH lithium salt (LY CH lithium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.

Lucifer Yellow CH potassium salt (LY CH potassium salt) is a widely used polar molecular tracer for studying neuronal morphology. The fluorescent molecule contains a carbohydrazide that allow the molecule to be aldehyde-fixable.

RuBP-2S (Ruthenium(bis(bathophenanthroline))(bathophenanthrolinedisulfonate) is a luminescent ruthenium complex similar to RuBPS (80021).

RuBP-4S ([Ruthenium(bathophenanthroline)(bis(bathophenanthrolinedisulfonate))],disodium salt) is a luminescent ruthenium complex similar to RuBPS (80021).

RuBPS (Ruthenium(tris(bathophenanthrolinedisulfonate), tetrasodium salt) is a negatively-charged water-soluble luminescent ruthenium complex. The complex can be efficiently excited by either UV light or visible light in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 500 nm with bright red emission centered around 605 nm.

Biotium developed SDIP/Eu³ as an alternative to DPA/Tb³ (80104), which is used for vesicle fusion assays.

Sulforhodamine 101 has a longer absorption wavelength than does sulforhodamine B. Like sulforhodamine B and G, in addition to their potential use in cancer drug screening, these fluorescent dyes have been primarily used as polar tracers for the studies of neuronal cell morphology and cell-cell communication.

Similar to other sulforhodamine dyes, the highly water-soluble sulforhodamine B can also be used as a polar tracer for the studies of cell morphology and neuronal cell-cell communication (1-3). In addition, sulforhodamine B has been shown to be a superior protein stain for use in the quantification of cellular proteins of cultured cells.

Similar to other sulforhodamine dyes, the highly water-soluble sulforhodamine G can also be used as a polar tracer for the studies of cell morphology and neuronal cell-cell communication (1-3).

TMR biocytin is a cell-impermeant, fixable polar tracer that combines the tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) with biotin and an aldehyde-fixable primary amine.  Polar tracers are commonly used to investigate cell-cell and cell-liposome fusion as well as membrane permeability and transport through gap junctions or cell uptake during pinocytosis.
