Nerve Terminal Staining Kit IIA

Nerve Terminal Staining Kits contain Biotium's nerve terminal dyes and background reducing agents for washing away or quenching extracellular dye fluorescence. Kits are available with SynaptoGreen™ C4 (equivalent to FM® 1-43), the fixable green nerve terminal dye AM1-43, or SynaptoRed™ C2 (equivalent to FM® 4-64). ADVASEP-7 is a sulfonated β -cyclodextrin derivative that has been reported to reduce background fluorescence when using SynaptoGreen C4 (equivalent to FM® 1-43) to stain brain slices. SCAS (4-Sulfonato calix[8]arene, sodium salt) is a quencher developed by Biotium to reduce background fluorescence. Unlike ADVASEP-7, SCAS dramatically lowers background fluorescence as soon as it is added to the preparation without the need for repeated wash steps. Sulforhodamine 101 has been used as a quencher dye to reduce SynaptoGreen™ C4 fluorescence.
