Fluoro-Jade^® B

Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is a polyanionic fluorescein derivative which sensitively and specifically binds to degenerating neurons. It is a dark red power that has a green iridescence with excitation peak at 480 nm and emission peak at 525 nm. The filter used for visualizing Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is a fluorescein/FITC filter. Fluoro-JadeⓇ B can be used on most tissue section types and thicknesses including frozen, vibratomed cryostat or paraffin-embedded sections from 3-50 µm. Fluoro-JadeⓇ B is faster and more reliable than older methods (e.g. suppressed silver) for the unequivocal qualitative detection and quantitative measurement of both and fine scale neuronal degeneration.

Filter System : Fluorescein / FITC

Solubility: Very soluble in water and bases, moderately soluble in alcohol and weak acids.

The powder should be stored well sealed at room temperature, preferable in a dessicator, due to its hygroscopic nature. The liquid stock solution (0.01%) in distilled water can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 3 months. The working solution (0.0004%) in 0.1% acetic acid should be prepared fresh and not be stored or reused.

This layer chromatography using cellulose plates and a solvent system of n-propinol, water, and ammonium hydroxide (6:5:2) revealed the presence of two fluorescent isomers and two trace non-fluorescent bands. No amount of fluorescein or Fluoro-Jade was present
