DescriptionBioTracker DCM-Bgal Live Cell Dye
OverviewThe BioTracker DCM-Bgal live cell dye is a ratiometric near-infrared (NIR) dye for the real-time fluorescent quantification of beta-galatosidase (ß-gal) enzyme activity in vitro, in vivo and in situ.

ß-galactosidase is an important marker for cell senescence and primary ovarian cancers. BioTracker DCM-Bgal live cell dye has light-up ratiometric NIR fluorescence with
large Stokes shift, high photostability than commercial ICG, and pH independency under the physiological range, allowing for the real-time
evaluation of β-gal activity. DCM-βgal displays higher affinity for β-gal
than commercial X-gal and much faster response to β-gal than
the previously reported FDG.

Spectral Properties
NIR fluorescence images obtained from 605 to 725 nm, λex = 560 nm
