Protocol summary
- Prepare samples
- Add 10X Track It™ Red working solution (10 µL/well)
- Incubate the cells at 37°C for 15 to 60 minutes
- Wash the cells
- Examine the specimen under fluorescence microscope with Texas Red filter or flow cytometer with 610/20 nm filter (PE-Texas Red channel)
Important notes
Thaw all the components at room temperature. Centrifuge the Component A brieftly before opening.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
Dilute 500X Track It™ Red DMSO stock solution (Component A) into Assay Buffer (Component B) to make a 10 to 25X Track It™ Red working solution. The working solution should be prepared enough for all the wells at 10 μL/well with the appropriate concentration. For example, to get a 10X final concentration of Track It™ Red for one 96-well microplate, dilute 20 μL of 500X Track It™ Red DMSO stock solution into 1 mL of Assay Buffer (Component B) to make 1 mL of 10X Track It™ Red working solution. Note: The final concentration of the Track It™ Red working solution should be empirically determined for different cell types and/or experimental conditions. It is recommended to test at the concentrations that are at least over a ten fold range.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
- Add 10X Track It™ Red working solution to the cell wells which should be equal to 1/10 of the volume of cell culture medium. For example, for a 96-well plate, add 10 µL/well of 10X Track It™ Blue working solution into the cells.
- Incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 15 to 60 minutes.
- Wash cells with Hanks and 20 mM Hepes buffer (HHBS) or an appropriate buffer.
- Fill the cell wells with growth medium.
- Analyze the cells using a fluorescence microscope with Texas Red filter or flow cytometer with 610/20 nm filter (PE-Texas Red channel).
