abberior STAR BLUE, phalloidin, 300 units

abberior STAR BLUE extends the abberior dye portfolio into the blue spectral range. It is designed for confocal microscopy and provides reliable performance with low background signal. abberior STAR BLUE can be excited with lasers in the 400–420 nm range and is a suitable replacement for dyes such as DyLight® 405. In combination with abberior STAR GREEN, abberior STAR ORANGE, and abberior STAR RED, abberior STAR BLUE enables versatile 4-color imaging across a broad spectral range. Best results are obtained with freshly prepared samples. Fluorescent dye conjugates of phalloidin are used to stain F-actin. The high specificity of phalloidin offers significant advantages over antibodies for actin labeling. Reconstitute the vial in 1.5 mL of DMF or DMSO to obtain a stock solution of 200 units/mL. We recommend diluting this stock solution 1:200 to prepare a staining solution with a final concentration of 1 unit/mL.
