Enzo Life Sciences’ ROS-ID® Superoxide detection kit is designed to directly monitor real time superoxide production in live cells using fluorescence microscopy and/or flow cytometry. A major component of the kit, Superoxide Detection Reagent (Orange), is a cell-permeable probe that reacts specifically with superoxide, generating an orange fluorescent product. The kit is not designed to detect reactive peroxide, hydroxyl, peroxynitrite, chlorine or bromine species, as the fluorescent probe included is relatively insensitive to these analytes. Upon staining, the fluorescent product generated can be visualized using a wide-field fluorescence microscope equipped with a standard orange (e.g., 550/620 nm) fluorescent cube, or cytometrically using any flow cytometer equipped with a blue (488 nm) laser. The Superoxide Detection Kit contains sufficient reagents for at least 200 microscopy assays or 50 flow cytometry assays using live cells (adherent or in suspension).
Product Details
| Applications: | Flow Cytometry, Fluorescence microscopy, Fluorescent detection, HTS
|
| |
| Application Notes: | This kit is designed to directly monitor real time superoxide production in live cells using fluorescence microscopy and/or flow cytometry. |
| |
| Quality Control: | A sample from each lot of ROS-ID® Superoxide detection kit is used to stain HeLa cells using the procedures described in the user manual. The stained cells are analyzed using a wide-field fluorescence microscope equipped with standard orange (e.g., 550/620 nm) fluorescent cube.
The following results are obtained: ROS positive control samples induced with Pyocyanin exhibit bright orange fluorescence in the nucleus. Cells pretreated with the ROS inhibitor don’t demonstrate any orange fluorescence signal upon induction. |
