Invitrogen™ CellTracker™ Blue CMF2HC Dye

Invitrogen™ CellTracker™ Blue CMF2HC Dye

CellTracker™ Blue CMF2HC (4-chloromethyl-6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxycoumarin) is a fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location. After loading into cells, the dye is well retained, allowing for multigenerational tracking of cellular movements. The blue excitation/emission spectra are ideal for multiplexing with green and red fluorescent dyes and proteins.

Features

• Easy to use—remove medium, add dye, incubate 30 minutes, and image cells
• Fluorescent signal retention of >72 hours (typically three to six generations)
• Blue excitation/emission spectra (371/464 nm maxima) ideal for multiplexing
• Low cytotoxicity—does not affect viability or proliferation
