Live-cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Sigma-Aldrich, B2261) and adhered, live, to glass slides as previously described (Dean and Sunter, 2020 (link)). mNG and Hoechst 33342 fluorescence and phase-contrast micrographs were captured on the same microscope and using identical settings as the TrypTag genome wide protein localisation project, a DM5500 B (Leica) upright widefield epifluorescence microscope using a plan apo NA/1.4 63× phase contrast oil immersion objective (Leica, 15506351) and a Neo v5.5 (Andor) sCMOS camera using MicroManager (Edelstein et al., 2010 ).

Preparing Cells for Fluorescence Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were prepared for light microscopy by centrifugation to remove medium, followed by resuspension in FCS-free HMI-9 containing 1 µg/mL Hoechst 33342 before a second centrifugation and resuspension in a small volume (~20 µl) of FCS-free HMI-9. An equal volume of 0.04% (v/v) formaldehyde in FCS free HMI-9 was added to lightly fix the cells

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
