Biological Activity

Targets	Fluorescent Dye
ln Vitro	Sensitive methods have been developed to measure laser-induced fluorescence from trapped ions by reducing the detection of background scattering to zero levels during the laser excitation pulse. The laser beam diameter has been reduced to approximately 150 microm to eliminate scattering on trap apertures and the resulting laser-ion interaction is limited to a volume of approximately 10(-5) cm which is approximately 0.03-0.15 of the total ion cloud volume depending on experimental conditions. The detection optics collected fluorescence only from within the solid angle defined by laser-ion interaction volume. Rhodamine 640 and Alexa Fluor 350 ions, commonly used as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) fluorophores, were generated in the gas phase by using electrospray ionization and injected into a radiofrequency Paul trap where they were stored and exposed to Nd:YAG laser pulses at 532 and 355 nm for times up to 10 m. Fluorescence emitted by these ions was investigated for several trap q(z) values and ion cloud temperatures. Analysis of photon statistics indicated an average of approximately 10 photons were incident on the PMT detector per 15 ns pulse for approximately 10(3) trapped ions in the interaction volume. Fluorescence measurements displayed a dependence on trapped ion number which were consistent with calculations of the space charge limited ion density. To investigate the quantitative capability of these fluorescence techniques, the laser-induced fragmentation of trapped Alexa Fluor 350 ions was measured and compared with a rate equation model of the dynamics. Decay of the fluorescence signal as well as the parent ion number compared closely with quantitative predictions of the photofragmentation model [1].

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)

May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples

Solubility (In Vivo)

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (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.
