The Molecular Probes™ unlabeled BioParticles™ product line comprises heat- or chemically killed S. aureus (Wood strain, without protein A) and zymosan (S. cerevisiae) cells. These nonfluorescent BioParticles™ products are useful in phagocytosis assays, both as controls and for custom-labeling with reactive dyes.

BioParticles Specifications:
• Label (Ex/Em): Unlabeled
• Particle: Zymosan (S. cerevisiae)
• Opsonizing reagent available

Using BioParticles™ Products
BioParticles™ conjugates are provided as lyophilized powders. There are approximately 3 x 108 S. aureus particles per mg solid and approximately 2 x 107 zymosan particles per mg solid. BioParticles™ conjugates can be reconstituted in the buffer of your choice for use in phagocytosis assays.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are the Invitrogen BioParticles products sterile?

While the bacteria have been attenuated with formaldehyde and alcohol desiccation, the BioParticles products are not considered sterile, and we do not recommend incubation of more than 4 hours. This applies to all of our dye-labeled (pHrodo, Alexa Fluor, etc.) and unlabeled BioParticles products.

What is the type of bond that attaches the dyes to the BioParticles probes?

We use amine-reactive dyes to covalently attach fluorescent dyes to all of our BioParticles probes such as the Escherichia coli (K-12 strain) BioParticles probes, Staphylococcus aureus (Wood strain without protein A) BioParticles, and the Zymosan A (S. cerevisiae) BioParticles probes.

What can the BioParticles product line be used for?

Fluorescent Bioparticles have been employed to study phagocytosis by fluorescence microscopy, quantitative spectrofluorometry, and flow cytometry. We offer E.Coli, S. aureus, and zymosan BioParticles conjugates covalently labeled with a variety of different fluorophores.
