Description
Use F-Actin Cytoskeleton Stains to visualize filamentous actin structures in mammalian cells when performing fluorescence microscopy and cell imaging applications. F-Actin Stain Violet 400/421 features a proprietary phalloidin-conjugated fluorescent dye packaged in a 3-vial format, making it easy to thaw only the desired amount and save the rest for future experiments.
Key Benefits of F-Actin Cytoskeleton Stains
- Convenient liquid format with no weighing/resuspension steps required
- Available in several excitation/emission combinations to facilitate multicolor experiments
