Luminicell Tracker™ 540 - Vascular Labelling Kit (Green)

Emission Colour (nm)

Description

Luminicell Tracker™ are biocompatible organic fluorescent nanoparticles, that can be used to fluorescently tag vasculature in living tissues and animals for visualization of vascular structures and study of inflammation and vascular leakage.

These trackers serve as excellent disease diagnostic reagents.

Under normal condition, these nanoparticles flow smoothly inside blood vessels. However, under inflammation or infection, they leak out in response to blood vessel permeability changes and form localized punctate aggregates to accumulate in surrounding tissues.

Through both one-photon and multi-photon fluorescence imaging, these trackers provide an optical window for deep tissue imaging with minimized bio-substrate absorption interference.
