Product Information

BF-188 Amyloid β & neurofibrillary tangle fluorescent probe produced by FUJIFILM Wako Chemical Corporation

BF-188 is a flourescence probe that stains both amyloid β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Both plaques and tangles can be visualised under a blue-violet filter (400-440 nm) with BF-188 staining. Amyloid β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles can be detected selectively under violet (380-420nm) and green (510-560nm) filters respectively.

Soluble in methanol, BF-188 has an excitation wavelength of 400-440nm and emission wavelength typically 520nm and 600nm.

Staining Method:
Deparaffinise the section on a glass slide

Wash the section with MQ for 10 minutes

Blanch the section with 0.25% potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes

Wash the section twice with PBS for 2 minutes

Immerse the section in 0.1% potassium metabisulphite and 0.15% oxalic acid for a few seconds

Wash the section three times with PBS for 2 minutes

Immerse the quenched tissue section with 100µmol/L BF-188 solution containing 50% ethanol for 10 minutes

Dip the section in water five times, immersing for a few seconds.
