Molecular Mass 1582.65 g/mol-1. Flash Phalloidin™ Green 488 excites maximally at 488 nm and emits maximally at 520 nm.
Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide that can be found naturally in the death cap mushroom. This molecule is considered to bind so tightly to F-actin that when ingested by an organism, it will prevent the depolymerization of the actin polymeric filaments which leads to cellular toxicity. In cell imaging, this is a very useful probe for imaging and stabilizing filamentous F-actin in fixed and permeabilized cells, providing structural and volumetric context to the cell. Phallotoxins are conjugated to a wide array of fluorophores to enable their use in multicolor microscopy.

-
Reconstitute the Flash Phalloidin™ Green 488 with 1.5mL of methanol to make 300 units. Then prepare a working concentration by diluting 1:20 - 1:100 of stock in 1X PBS. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
- Prior to reconstitution, spin down the vial of lyophilized reagent in a microcentrofuge to ensure the reagent is at the bottom of the vial.
- Fix cultured cells with 1% - 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Wash the cells two times with 1X PBS.
- Permeabilize the cells with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature or at 4°C.
- Wash the cells two times with 1X PBS.
- Block cells with 5% fetal bovine serum for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare the working solution by diluting Flash Phalloidin™ Green 488 1:20 - 1:100 in 1X PBS.
- Stain the cells with diluted solution for 20 minutes at room temperature in the dark protected from light.
- Mount the slides with an antifade mounting media and image the slides.
