| ln Vitro |
Astrocytes in brainstem regions are more strongly and precisely labeled by Texas Red (Sulforhodamine 101) than are astrocytes in the cortex or hippocampus. Texas Red concentrations should be kept as low as feasible to reduce excitotoxic side effects; alternatively, labeling can be done after the experiment is completed [1].
In vitro, Sulforhodamine 101 is a red fluorescent dye used as a specific marker for astrocytes. It has excitation maximum at 586 nm and emission maximum at 605 nm. The compound is used in fluorescence microscopy for astrocyte labeling and imaging. It is a nonfixable dye. Sulforhodamine 101 is a laser grade dye with purity of 99%. |
| ln Vivo |
Topical treatment of 100 μM or intrahippocampal injection of modest doses of 10 μM Texas Red can produce epileptic activity in vivo [1].
In vivo, Sulforhodamine 101 is used as a fluorescent marker for astrocytes in brain tissue. The compound is used in neuroscience research for astrocyte visualization and study. Its red fluorescence enables detection in tissue sections. Further in vivo studies have evaluated its utility in brain imaging applications. |

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.08 mg/mL (3.43 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
