General description

SynaptoGreen C4 is an oxonol dye that helps in the rapid detection of an antibiotic′s effect on bacterial viability. It is a fluorescent dye that is used in optical imaging studies to determine synaptic activity by staining synaptic vesicles at the nerve terminal or the neuromuscular junction. It is equivalent to FM1-43.

Application

SynaptoGreen C4 has been used to label cultured neurons grown on EM grids for fluorescent labeling, live light microscopy and imaging studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A fluorescent nerve terminal dye suitable for monitoring synaptic activity at synapses and at neuromuscular junctions.

Other Notes

Component of NTSI, also sold individually.
