ProLong™ Live Antifade Reagent, for live cell imaging

ProLong® Live Antifade Reagent helps prevent the loss of fluorescent signal due to photobleaching during live cell imaging. When dyes are illuminated, they can degrade (usually permanently), reducing the sample’s fluorescent intensity and leading to the creation of free radical singlet oxygen, an element that can further degrade neighboring dye molecules. ProLong® Live Antifade Reagent metabolizes this element, increasing the signal intensity and duration while keeping the background signal low. ProLong® Live reagent has little-to-no effect on cellular viability, proliferation, or other cellular functions in experiments up to 48 hours

Features

• Photobleach protection in live cell experiments, for fluorophores such as GFP, RFP, Hoechst 33342, MitoTracker®, LysoTracker®, and CellTracker®dyes
• Little-to-no effect on cellular viability, proliferation, or other cellular functions
• Easy to use, just add to the imaging solution or complete cell culture media or buffer, incubate, and image
