For GSDIM (Ground State Depletion with Individual Molecule return) microscopy using the Leica SR GSD microscope, Active Motif’s fluorescent Chromeo™ 488 dye and conjugated secondary antibodies have been tested by Leica Microsystems. The fluorescent properties of Chromeo 488 dye and secondaries meet the specifications required to perform GSDIM microscopy with the SR GSD system, using the 488 nm/300 mW laser for excitation. To ensure that you achieve the best image quality possible, Chromeo 488-stained slides should be embedded in either MEA (β-Mercaptoethylamine) or PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) -based embedding media.

Tubulin was stained with a primary monoclonal mouse antibody and with Chromeo 488 Goat anti-mouse IgG (Catalog No. 15031) secondary antibody. The widefield (left) and GSDIM (right) images are courtesy of Leica Microsystems, Germany.
Chromeo 488 is available as a reactive NHS-Ester or, for convenience in labeling your primary antibodies and proteins, offered in complete, optimized Fluorescent Antibody Labeling Kits.
