LavaCell is a long Stokes' shift fluorescent stain that is particularly well suited to live cell imaging and multiplex applications. LavaCell does not fluoresce until it interacts with proteins thus negating the requirement to remove excess stain before imaging.

PRODUCT FEATURES

LavaCell

• Is a water soluble fluorescent cell stain
• Becomes fluorescent on interaction with proteins in the cell which enables cells to be stained without need to wash away unbound stain
• Is a small (mw 410), neutral molecule to which readily permeates into cells
• Does not affect cell growth rate or viability which makes it suitable for live cell imaging
• Is ideal for multiplexing with other fluorophores due to long Stokes' shift
