CyGEL Sustain™ LIVE zebrafish embryo imaging

CyGEL Sustain™ make it possible to immobilize live zebrafish embryos (e.g. Danio rerio) for high quality crisp imaging for your publications:

  • Live fish can be kept anaesthetised in CyGEL Sustain™
  • Live fish can be recovered to grow on after more than an hour in CyGEL Sustain™- remarkable! 
  • Immobilising live embryos permits other techniques like tissue-specific micro-injections and micro-surgery (CyGEL™ is recommended for these techniques - LINK)
  • Fixed embryos can be held still for high resolution imaging, needed for HCS applications - see CyGEL.  (We recommend this PBS-based formulation for fixed samples).

For LIVE C. elegans and parasite imaging CyGEL™ is recommended.
