Introduction

Sodium alginate (Alg) is biocompatible and easy to cross-link. It is widely used in research areas such as in vitro cell culture, bionic extracellular matrix and tissue engineering scaffold materials. Fluorescent alginate (EFL-FL-Alg-G series) is a chemical grafting of fluorescent molecules onto Alg molecules. To give them a specific fluorescent colour by changing the type of fluorescent molecule. This chemical grafting method can maintain fluorescence properties for a long period of time and overcome the disadvantages of physical mixing or electrostatic adsorption methods in which the fluorescent molecules tend to diffuse out of the system, and also avoiding the disadvantage of uneven imaging of fluorescent particles.  The product has promising applications in 3D bioprinting, biosensing and biotracer research.

Item

Application

Material tracing, in vivo and in vitro fluorescence imaging, cell culture, coating, biological 3D printing, tissue engineering, etc.

Storage

Dry kit: 4℃, 12 months; -20℃, 18 months. Sterile solution：4°C (in dark)，7 days；-20℃ (in dark)，6 months. Repeated freezing and thawing of the solution will affect the performance of the product, so it is best to prepare it when using it.

Instruction for use

Recommended use concentration：EFL-FL-Alg-50K-G 1-10%(w/v)；

                                                          EFL-FL-Alg-300K-G 0.5-2%(w/v).

Adjust the concentration of use according to the final fluorescence intensity ( non-sterile product, if used for biological experiments, please filter to remove bacteria).
