Invitrogen™ FluoCells™ Prepared Slide #1 (BPAE cells with MitoTracker™ Red CMXRos, Alexa Fluor™ 488 Phalloidin, and DAPI)
Description
FluoCells Prepared Slide #1 contains bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC). MitoTracker Red CMXRos was used to stain the mitochondria in the live cells, with accumulation dependent upon membrane potential. Following fixation and permeabilization, F-actin was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 phalloidin, and the nuclei were counterstained with the blue-fluorescent DNA stain DAPI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Some of the most popular are the FluoCells demonstration slides, which have cells or tissue sections that are labeled with three different dyes. FluoCells 1 and 2 have cultured cells, while FluoCells 3 is a tissue section (mouse kidney). Slides with fluorescent beads are also available.
DAPI is a very common blue-fluorescent dye for nuclear counterstaining and gives very bright labeling on nuclei in fixed and permeabilized cells and tissues. However, it is considered to be a semi-permeant to impermeant stain and provides inconsistent staining of live cells. Hoechst 33342 dye is cell-permeant and stains with the same binding mechanism and fluorescent color; it is preferred for live-cell imaging and is just as good as DAPI for fixed cell labeling.
