Confocal Microscopy live cell mountant
Watch LIVE suspension cells in time-lapsed experiments ...
Hold tissue pieces in place for imaging ...
Recover your samples AFTER imaging ...
CyGEL™ allows you to observe live cells in real-time experiments without worrying about their motility.
With CyGEL™ cells are suspended in a thermoreversible hydrogel. It's compatible with culture media, fluorescence and cell imaging platforms.
See how easy it is to use here.
Cells can be viewed for long periods and, as shown in the image here, behave the same as those in suspension. These cells are expressing GFP and after overlaying with CyGEL™ continue to express it.
This also shows that CyGEL™ doesn't interfere with the ability image fluorescence signals.
A recent example of its use in live cell imaging can be viewed in more detail here:
CyGEL™ can be combined with cell / nuclear dyes. Have a look at these examples:
- GFP expressing cells cells imaged with DRAQ5™-doped CyGEL™
- Apoptotic lymphoma cells with propidium iodide-doped CyGEL™
