Description

Hydroxystilbamidine, methanesulfonate (also called Fluorogold) has been used extensively as a retrograde tracer for neurons and also a histochemical stain. Fluorogold can undergo retrograde axonal transport, it shows extensive filling of dendrites, and has a high resistance to fading.

Notes

1. Hydroxystilbamidine 4% in H₂O, which is a more convenient, ready-to-use form.

2. There are quenching problems with fluorescent dyes. Please avoid light to slow down the fluorescence quenching.

3. For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves.
