The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg\/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. For long-term storage of diluted solutions, we recommend adding 0.1% BSA. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipped at room temperature.

Glutamatergic transmission at excitatory synapses is mediated by three different classes of receptor-gated ion channels: AMPA receptors (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid), Kainate receptors and NMDA receptors (N-methyl-D-aspartate)1.The biphenyl derivative of 1,3-naphthalene disulfonic acid, known as Evans Blue tetrasodium salt, was found to reduce desensitization and partially block the peak amplitudes of non-NMDA-receptor mediated currents in rat thalamic neurons2, and to block kainate evoked currents of heterologously expressed recombinant AMPA receptors containing either subunit GluR1 or GluR2 (IC50 values are 220 µM)3. Evans Blue has been an important tool in many physiological and clinical investigations because of its high affinity for plasma albumin4.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 Business Days\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Israel\/IL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications key\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication key: FC- Flow cytometry, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry,LCI- Live cell imaging, Calcium imaging assay,Cell survival assay, Electrophysiology, Neurite outgrowth assay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBioassay tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"1 g \/ 1","offer_id":53249704952173,"sku":"E-110-1G-1","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 g \/ 1","offer_id":53311550357869,"sku":"E-110-10G-1","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g \/ 1","offer_id":53311550390637,"sku":"E-110-50G-1","price":206.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/E-110_gr.gif?v=1778544418","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/evans-blue-tetrasodium-salt-bhb21300128","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
