Description
CellTracker™ Green BODIPY® (8-chloromethyl-4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-S-indacene) is a fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location. This dye is well retained, allowing for multigenerational tracking of cellular movements. And the green excitation/emission spectra are ideal for multiplexing with red fluorescent dyes and proteins.Need a different emission spectrum or longer tracking?

• Easy to use—remove medium, add dye, incubate 30 minutes, and image cells
• Fluorescent signal retention of >72 hours (typically three to six generations)
• Green excitation/emission spectra (522/529 nm maxima) ideal for multiplexing
• Low cytotoxicity—does not affect viability or proliferation
CellTracker™ Green BODIPY® fluorescent dye has been designed to freely pass through cell membranes into cells, where it is transformed into cell membrane-impermeant reaction products. CellTracker™ Green BODIPY® dye is retained in living cells through several generations. The dye is transferred to daughter cells, but not adjacent cells in a population. CellTracker™ Green BODIPY® dye is designed to display fluorescence for at least 72 hours, and the dye exhibits ideal tracking properties: it is stable, nontoxic at working concentrations, well retained in cells, and brightly fluorescent at physiological pH. Additionally, the excitation and emission spectra of CellTracker™ Green BODIPY® dye are well separated from RFP (red fluorescent protein) spectra allowing for multiplexing.
