Product overview

Name Janelia Fluor® 525, SE
Biological description

Cell-permeable, yellow fluorescent dye supplied as an NHS ester / succinimidyl ester (SE) for coupling to primary amine (NHS) groups. NHS esters are used to label the primary amines of proteins and are commonly used for conjugating dyes to a protein or antibody.

May be used for cellular imaging when combined with the HaloTag or SNAP-tag self labelling systems. Suitable for confocal microscopy and super resolution microscopy (SRM) including techniques such as dSTORM (both live and fixed cells). Can also be multiplexed with Janelia Fluor ® 635 SE for two color imaging.

Spectrally similar dyes: Alexa Fluor® 532, Alexa Fluor® 514, Atto 532, CF514, CF532

Alternative names JF525,SE
Description

Yellow dye for coupling to NHS groups. Suitable for super resolution microscopy (e.g. dSTORM), confocal microscopy and live cell imaging.

Application notes

#Protocol 1: Conjugation of Janelia© Fluor 525 SE to antibodies

 

  • Using a desalting column, perform buffer exchange (following manufacturer instructions) of antibody into a carbonate buffer (100mM, pH 8-8.25)
  • Mix together the antibody and Janelia© Fluor 525 SE (prepared at 10mM in anhydrous DMSO or DMF) in a 15:1 molar ratio. Incubate in the dark for 60 minutes at room temperature with gentle mixing.
  • Add 10% by volume of 0.75M Tris-HCl pH7.4 (to a final concentration of 75mM) to stop the conjugation reaction. Incubate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature in the dark with gentle mixing.
  • Use a desalting column, perform buffer exchange (following manufacture instructions) of antibody into PBS 0.05% sodium azide. This step also removes any unbound dye

 

#Protocol 2: Immunohistochemistry

 

  • 40μm horizontal sections were cut from a 4% PFA fixed rat brain.
  • IHC(IF) was performed using mouse monoclonal anti-GFAP (HB8267, 1:1000 dilution / 1μg/ml) and rabbit monoclonal anti-NFL (HB7266, 1:2000 / 0.5μg/ml) antibodies. A polyclonal goat anti-mouse Janelia© Fluor 525 conjugated antibody was used at a dilution of 1:300 as a secondary antibody.
  • Please see our detailed immunohistochemistry protocol for details of the full protocol

 

#Protocol 3: Measurement of excitation and emission spectra of Janelia Fluor ® 525, SE

  • Janelia Fluor ® 525, SE was prepared at 1µm in PBS.
  • Spectra were generated on a Tecan Infinite M200 PRO using the following parameters:
    • Excitation: Recording at 618nm while exciting between 280nm and 590nm
    • Emission: Exciting at 484nm while recording between 510nm and 800nm
    • Absorbance: Measured between 300 and 800nm
