Biological Activity
Guide (The following is our recommended experimental protocol. This protocol is for reference only and should be adjusted according to your specific needs).
Preparation of Flutax-2 working solution
1.1 Preparation of stock solution
Prepare a 10 mM stock solution in DMSO.
1.2 Preparation of working solution
Dilute the stock solution with pre-warmed serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to prepare a Flutax-2 working solution at 100 nM-1 μM.
Note: Adjust the concentration of Flutax-2 working solution according to actual needs and prepare fresh before use.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells: Collect cells by centrifugation and wash twice with PBS, 5 min each time.
Adherent cells: Remove the culture medium, add trypsin to digest the cells. After centrifugation, discard the supernatant and wash twice with PBS, 5 min each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL Flutax-2 working solution and incubate at room temperature for 10–30 min.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g, 4°C for 3-4 min and discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash cells twice with PBS, 5 min each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells in 1 mL serum-free medium or PBS and observe using a fluorescence microscope.
Storage conditions
Store at -20°C protected from light for one year.
