01 /Applications

Actin Staining and Visualization

Phalloidin binds with high affinity to F-actin filaments, making it an indispensable probe for visualising the actin cytoskeleton in fixed and permeabilised cells. Its specificity allows for detailed studies of cell shape, motility, and intracellular transport.

Cellular Research and Diagnostics

Used in various cell biology research applications, including studying cell division, migration, and development. It serves as a vital reagent for understanding cellular mechanics and signalling pathways.

In Vivo/In Vitro Stem Cell Tracking

Phalloidin is applied for tracking stem cell behaviour and differentiation processes. Its ability to highlight cytoskeletal changes aids in characterising stem cell populations and their responses to stimuli.

Biochemical Assays

Utilised in biochemical assays to quantify or study actin polymerisation and depolymerisation dynamics. This helps in the characterisation of actin-binding proteins and drug screening.
