USAGE STATEMENT: This product is intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals. Due to the highly specific nature of fluorophores and aptamers, we cannot predict or be held responsible with respect to how Lucerna^TM products will behave in its customers’ systems. Researchers using Lucerna^TM products should conduct optimization studies to achieve the optimal result possible for their intended application.

Data

A. Live-cell imaging of a COS7 cell expressing CGG₆₀-Spinach2^TM in the presence of either 20 µM DFHBI or DFHBI-1T.  Images of the same cell were acquired using a 100 msec exposure with a GFP filter set.  B. Quantification of average  DFHBI-1T brightness of 10 cells expressing CGG₆₀-Spinach^TM normalized to the brightness of DFHBI.
