The pHrodo® Cell Labeling Kit for Incucyte® enables the labeling of your choice of target cells with a pH-sensitive fluorophore for use in Incucyte® Phagocytosis Assays.
pHrodo® Cell Labeling Dye for Incucyte® enables labeling of whole cells with a pH-sensitive fluorophore. These cells are then suitable for use in downstream applications such as phagocytosis of cells. The unique pHrodo®-based system uses the acidic environment of the phagosome to quantify phagocytosis. As pHrodo® labeled cells residing in the neutral extracellular solution (pH 7.4) are engulfed by phagocytes and enter the acidic phagosome (pH 4.5–5.5), a substantial increase in fluorescence is observed. In the absence of phagocytes, the fluorescence intensity of the labeled cells remains low. This kit enables real-time evaluation of phagocytic regulation induced by pharmacological agents as well as genetic and environmental factors.
Presentation, Storage and Stability
This comprehensive kit comes with one vial of pHrodo® Cell Labeling Dye for Incucyte®, one vial of DMSO used to solubilize the dye, one bottle of pHrodo® Wash Buffer (100 mL) and one bottle of pHrodo® Labeling Buffer (100 mL). The pHrodo® Labeling Dye for Incucyte® is supplied as a lyophilized solid. When stored at -20°C, the dye is stable for at least six months. Once solubilized, the solution should be used as soon as possible or stored at -20°C and used within one month.
Recommended Use
We recommend that pHrodo® Cell Labeling Dye for Incucyte® is prepared at a stock concentration of 1 mg/mL in the sterile DMSO provided. The dye may then be diluted for direct addition to cells suspended in pHrodo® Labeling Buffer for Incucyte®. Note that the dye will also bind to any primary amines present in proteins or cellular debris, therefore we recommend that:
- a) Cell lines be washed with pHrodo® Wash Buffer for Incucyte® to remove cell culture media and serum
- b) Any primary cells (such as neutrophils extracted from whole blood) be free from contamination
