Fitc and texas red filters

Manufactured by Zeiss
Sourced in Germany

FITC and Texas Red filters are optical filters used in fluorescence microscopy and other fluorescence-based imaging techniques. The FITC filter is designed to selectively transmit light in the blue-green region of the visible spectrum, corresponding to the excitation and emission wavelengths of the fluorescent dye FITC (Fluorescein Isothiocyanate). The Texas Red filter is designed to selectively transmit light in the orange-red region of the visible spectrum, corresponding to the excitation and emission wavelengths of the fluorescent dye Texas Red. These filters help to isolate the desired fluorescent signals during imaging.

ADSC Cytotoxicity Assessment Using PI and FDA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ADSCs were seeded with a density of 1000 cells per 1 cm2. In 24 h the control growth medium was changed for the experimental one. For the cytotoxicity assessment the cells were stained with РI (propidium iodide) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and FDA (fluorescein diacetate) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) after 24 h and 72 h in culture. PI does not penetrate into living cells; therefore it stains only those in which the integrity of the cell membrane was broken. FDA is not a fluorescent molecule, but when penetrated into living cells is converted into a fluorescent form, fluorescein. The number of dead and living ADSCs in different groups was counted using fluorescence microscopy (FITC and Texas Red filters; Carl Zeiss, Germany).
Cytotoxicity was calculated as the ratio of living cells to the total number of cells and was expressed as a percentage according to the formula:
Cytotoxicity= (total number of cells / number of living cells)×100%.

Cytotoxicity Assessment of ADSCs on Scaffolds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The experiments with the use of human cell culture in vitro were carried out following the human experiment issues of the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki, 19 October 2013). In all cases, donors of ADSCs were the informed voluntary. Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) were isolated from the lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion in 0.1% collagenase IA and 0.1% pronase with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS). This cell suspension was then transferred to 25 cm2 cell culture flask (SPL, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) and cultured in the following control growth medium: modified MEM-α with 10% FBS, 2.0 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 1.0 ng/mL bFGF-2. (All media and reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA.) The cells were cultured in multi-gas incubator CB210 (Binder, Tuttlingen, Germany) at +37 °C under saturated humidity, 5% CO2 and 5% O2. For the cytotoxicity assessment, the cells were seeded on scaffolds at a density of 2 × 105 cells per 1.0 cm3 of materials. After 48 h of incubation, samples were stained with PI (propidium iodide) and FDA (fluorescein diacetate). The number of dead and living ADSCs in different groups was counted, using fluorescence microscopy (FITC and Texas Red filters; Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) and ZEN 2012 software [22 (link)].

Quantifying Cell Viability with FDA and PI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard protocol was used for the FDA and PI assay [29 (link)]. The cells were stained with РI (propidium iodide) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and FDA (fluorescein diacetate) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) after 24 h and 72 h in culture. PI does not penetrate into living cells; therefore, it stains only those in which the integrity of the cell membrane is broken. FDA is not a fluorescent molecule, but when penetrated into living cells, it is converted into a fluorescent form, fluorescein. The number of dead and living cells in different groups was counted using fluorescence microscopy (FITC and Texas Red filters; Carl Zeiss, Germany).
Viability was calculated as the ratio of living cells to the total number of cells and was expressed as a percentage according to the formula: cell viability=number of living cellstotal number of cells×100%.

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.
