Nerve Terminal Dyes

AM4-65 is a fixable red fluorescent nerve terminal probe. The dye is spectrally identical to SynaptoRed™ C2 (equivalent to FM®4-64), but it has an additional amine group at the hydrophilic end of the molecule, making the dye fixable with formaldehyde or gluteraldehyde.

A fixable red fluorescent nerve terminal probe that is spectrally identical to SynaptoRed™ C2 (also called FM®4-64).

HM1-43 is a fixable, activity-dependent fluorescent nerve terminal probe.

SCAS (4-Sulfonato calix[8]arene, sodium salt) is a quencher developed by Biotium to reduce background fluorescence when using our fixable AM dyes, SynaptoGreen and SynaptoRed dyes. Unlike ADVASEP-7, SCAS dramatically lowers background fluorescence as soon as it is added to the preparation without the need for repeated wash steps.

SGC3 is a coumarin styryl dye that binds to membranes in a manner similar to the FM® dyes. It becomes highly fluorescent upon insertion into lipid bilayers.

SGC5 is a coumarin styryl dye that binds to membranes in a manner similar to the FM® dyes. It becomes highly fluorescent upon insertion into lipid bilayers.
