Product Description
Lucifer Yellow CH dilithium salt is a highly intense fluorescent probe containing a free hydrazine group that reacts with aliphatic aldehydes at room temperature. Lucifer Yellow CH can be used as a biotracer for monitoring neuronal branching, regeneration, gap junction detection and characterization, and selective ablation of cells after aldehyde fixation. The excitation/emission maxima of Lucifer yellow CH are 430/540 nm respectively.

Making the working solution of Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt).
1. Preparation of stock solution
To make a 1 mg/mL stock solution of Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt), dissolve 1 mg of Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) in 1 mL of DDH2O.
Note: After aliquots, the Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) storage solution should be kept in the dark at -20°C or -80°C.
2. Utilizing the pre-heated serum-free media or PBS, dilute the stock solution into 0.5–1% Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) working solution.
Note: Before using, please make sure that the concentration of the Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) working solution is appropriate for the current circumstances.

Staining of cells
1. Preparation of cells
Suspension cells: Centrifuge cells to collect them, then add PBS and wash twice for five minutes each time.
Adherent cells: Add islet digested cells after discarding the culture medium. Centrifuge, remove supernatant, add PBS, and wash twice for five minutes each time.
2. Add 1 mL of the working solution for 5–30 minutes (Lucifer Yellow CH, dilithium salt).
3. Discard the supernatant after centrifuging at 400 g for three to four minutes at 4°C.
4. To wash the cells twice, five times apiece, add PBS.
5. Re-suspend the cells in 1 milliliter of PBS or serum-free water, and observe using a flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope.

Note:
1. After aliquoting, the Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) storage solution should be kept out of the light at -20°C or -80°C. Frequent freezing and thawing should be avoided. It can be kept for one month at -20°C and six months at -80°C.
2. You may adjust the Lucifer Yellow CH (dilithium salt) working solution concentration according to your specific needs.
3. This product should not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment, nor should it be included into food or medication. It is intended only for research use.
4. Please wear disposable gloves and a lab coat for your health and safety.
ln Vivo
Contrasting observations exist which indicate that in plants the fluorescent dye lucifer yellow CH (LYCH) either can be used as a tracer for endocytosis or as a substrate for an anion transporter located at the vacuolar membrane. In addition, LYCH as a disulphonated substance may represent an analogue of sulphonated or sulfated natural compounds like some flavonoids. We performed uptake experiments with LYCH into isolated rye vacuoles and observed saturable (Km = 0.3-0.6 mM) vacuolar transport and accumulation of the dye against the concentration gradient only when MgATP was present. GTP and, to a low extent, UTP could substitute for ATP, while the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue AMP-PNP did not drive LYCH uptake. Vanadate and probenecid, the latter substance is known to inhibit organic anion transport at the liver canalicular membrane, both strongly decreased the vacuolar uptake of LYCH, while bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of the vacuolar H+-ATPase, had no effect. Together with the fact that abolishment of the delta pH via CCCP had only a weak influence on LYCH accumulation, our results indicate that this compound is taken up into rye vacuoles by a directly energized process. Uptake of LYCH was strongly inhibited by other sulfated compounds including sulfobromophthalein and the flavones apigenin 7,4'-disulfate and luteolin 7,4'-disulfate arguing for the presence of a vacuolar transporter for structurally different sulphonated or sulfated compounds. Glucuronates like the rye-specific flavone luteolin 7-O-diglucuronide also strongly decreased uptake of the dye, whereas only a weak effect was observed in the presence of glutathione and a glutathione conjugate, suggesting that LYCH uptake is not mediated via the vacuolar glutathione conjugate pump [2].

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
