Lower background than LysoTracker® dyes
Dye options for super-resolution imaging
Color choices from blue to far-red, plus a unique NIR dye
LysoView™ dyes are fluorescent stains for imaging lysosome localization and morphology in live cells. The dyes accumulate in low pH organelles, resulting in highly specific staining without the need for a wash step. LysoView™ staining is non-toxic, and can imaged over the course of days, even after dye washout for some dye options (see the Product Information Sheet for more information).
LysoView™ 540 and LysoView™ 633 exhibit pH-sensitive fluorescence, further enhancing the specificity of staining. LysoView™ 488 has been validated in super-resolution imaging by SIM (Ref. 7), while LysoView™ 650 fluorophore is compatible with super-resolution imaging by SIM and STED.
LysoView™ 540 and LysoView™ 633 stain vacuoles in yeast. Staining of bacteria varies between dyes. See our Cellular Stains Table for details.
Note: LysoView™ 540 has limited photostability, and may not be suitable for all microscopy applications. LysoView™ 550 is a bright and more photostable choice.
