ER-Tracker Red

ER-Tracker dye is a derivative of BODIPY series dyes coupled with Glibenclamide (HY-15206), highly selective binding to the endoplasmic reticulum, non-toxic to cells at low concentrations, this type of dye is an environmentally sensitive probe, and formaldehyde treatment can still retain part of the fluorescence, with high fluorescence life, good extinction coefficient and other characteristics. Glibenclamide is an atp-dependent K+ channel blocker (Kir6, KATP) and CFTR Cl-channel blocker that binds in the endoplasmic reticulum. ER-Tracker is not suitable for staining cells after fixation. Ex/Em=587/615 nm[1].
