Flow-Cytometry


Label expressed proteins in cells with fluorophores for cell sorting and counting



How it works:

A SNAP-tag fusion to the protein of interest is expressed in the host cell and labeled using cell-permeable SNAP-cell substrates (intracellularly expressed proteins) or cell impermeable SNAP-tag substrate (proteins exposed on the cell membrane or fixed cells). Cells are counted or sorted using flow cytometry.
Advantages:

- Rapid specific labeling protocol, no antibodies required.
- Easy exchange of wide range of fluorophores.
- Live cell intracellular fluorescent labeling.
