Key Product Details

Description

Fluorogenic RNA imaging probe

Wavelength

Excitation = 556 nm, Emission = 608 nm

Product Description

RNA Imaging Probe 1c is a fluorogenic RNA imaging probe. RNA Imaging Probe 1c displays high membrane permeability, strong fluorogenic responses upon binding RNA, compatibility with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), low cytotoxicity, and excellent photostability. Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 556 nm and 608 nm, respectively; quantum yield = 0.49; extinction coefficient = 27,500 M-1cm-1. Suitable for live cell imaging.

DAPI counterstaining alongside RNA Imaging Probe 1c on HeLa cells

Application of RNA Imaging Probe 1c on PFA-fixed HeLa cells.

Confocal fluorescence images of PFA-fixed HeLa cells incubated with 20 μM RNA Imaging Probe 1c (red) and 1 μg/mL Hoechst 33342 (blue) for 30 min.
HeLa cells stained with RNA Imaging Probe 1c

Application of RNA Imaging Probe 1c on HeLa cells.

Zoomed-in confocal fluorescence image of HeLa cells stained with 20 μM RNA Imaging Probe 1c for 30 min. Image shows the sub-nucleolar components fibrillar center (FC) (indicated by the white arrowhead), dense fibrillar component (DFC), and outer granular component (GC) (indicated by the white arrows). Scale bar: 3 μm.
Yeast RNA and spermine labeled with RNA Imaging Probe 1c

Yeast RNA and spermine labeled with RNA Imaging Probe 1c.

Torula yeast RNA and spermine were incubated with RNA Imaging Probe 1c (10 μM). FLIM images show the formation of spherical coacervate droplets upon mixing the RNA and spermine. Image is enlarged by 1× (on the left) or by 8× (on the right). Scale bar: 10 μm.
