HCS CellMask™ Blue Stain
Description
HCS CellMask™ Blue stain (H32720) replaces the HCS CellMask™ Blue cytoplasmic⁄nuclear stain (H34558) as a cell delineation tool for HCS platforms. HCS CellMask™ stains label the entire cell and provide an accurate backdrop against which the features of interest can be assessed. HCS CellMask™ stains can be applied to cells immediately after fixation or in the last step of multiplexing protocols, and they are compatible with detergent-based cell permeabilization protocols. If only nuclear staining is desired, HCS NuclearMask™ stains can be used for measuring DNA content in addition to enabling robust cell demarcation. HCS NuclearMask™ stains are also available in a choice of colors for multiplexing flexibility.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Cells were labeled with HCS CellMask™ Blue stain, phalloidin Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate for actin (red), mouse anti–a-tubulin IgG (detected with Alexa Fluor® 555 goat anti-mouse IgG, green), and TO-PRO®-3 iodide nuclear stain (magenta). The bar graph shows quantitative differences of cell size as determined by HCS CellMask™ Blue stain.
