Description

Lipophilic dye

The styryl dye FM 4-64 has been reported to selectively stain yeast vacuolar membranes with red fluorescence (excitation/emission maxima ∽515/640nm). This dye is an important tool for visualizing vacuolar organelle morphology and dynamics, for studying the endocytic pathway and for screening and characterizing yeast endocytosis mutants. FM 4-64 is also available as 1mg in a single vial (T-3166).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I want to study endosomes trafficking using FM 4-64. Will the label be retained after fixation? And can I label already-fixed cells?

No. For that you would need the FM 4-64FX version. The non-FX version will not be retained upon fixation, leading to loss of much of the stain and an increase in background. The FX version will be retained using an aldehyde-based fixative. Cells that are already fixed will be stained throughout the cell and the signal will not be localized; it is recommended to stain live cells and then fix.
