Introduction The AURION Anionic Gold Tracers are designed to detect multiple positive charge moieties.
BSA Gold tracers are near neutral in charge. The BSA molecules on the surface of the gold nanoparticles protect against particle clustering when the tracer is in a buffered environment, a pre-requisite for tracking of cellular events like endocytosis and vascular leakage. The protective layer of BSA also promotes an even distribution of the gold nanoparticles on EM specimens, making the tracer a valuable tool in image alignment in electron tomography.
Product description The AURION Gold Tracers are available in the full range of particle sizes: Ultra Small, 2, 6, 10, 15 and 25 nm. Anionic Gold Tracers are prepared with BSA-c™ as particle conjugated protein. AURION Gold Tracers are available in 5 and 10 ml volume packages and are supplied at an OD520nm of 2.0 for the conventional particle size range and at equivalent OD for the Ultra Small tracers. The products are supplied in PBS, with 15 mM NaN3.
AURION Gold Tracers are shipped containing NaN3 as preservative. If they are intended for use in living organisms, the preservative has to be removed prior to use. This can be achieved either by dialysis or by buffer exchange using for instance a GE Healthcare Life Sciences PD10 or SpinTrapTM column. AURION Gold Tracers are also available in bulk and at different optical density if required.
Application Instructions In order to obtain a positive reaction when using these tracers the following should be kept in mind:
Anionic Tracers 1. charge interactions are influenced by the presence of ions, di- and trivalent ions being of more influence than univalent ions. The influence is concentration dependent. Binding is stronger in low ionic-strength media.
2. charge interactions are influenced by pH. The charge of components in the specimen is dependent of their isoëlectric point, below the IEP the charge is positive, above the IEP negative. Significant binding of the anionic tracer will only occur at a pH at least one to two pH-units lower than the IEP.
Anionic tracers are negatively charged at pH >5
BSA Tracers BSA tracers are intended for tracking fine capillaries or connecting spaces in intact tissues. BSA Tracers are generally used at physiological pH. Use undiluted – 1/5 or add BSA-gold Tracer in a 1:2 to 1:5 ratio to your sample.
Storage Aurion gold tracers have a guaranteed shelf life of 18 months from the date of quality control analysis. The products should be stored at 4-8°C. Freezing is not recommended.
