Product Information
Size : 8 mLDescription
Biofilms are highly organized structures of microbial communities composed of a matrix of polysaccharides and other substances secreted by microbes and/or aggregates of microbial cells. Microbial cells become resistant to antimicrobial drugs and host defense systems when they form biofilms. Clearing Reagent iCBiofilm-H1 has been developed to allow for the observation of biofilm structure at thicknesses of more than several tens of micrometers. Simple addition of iCBiofilm-H1 solution to a biofilm renders it transparent within several seconds, allowing for easy observation using light microscopy techniques.
*This product was developed by Associate Prof. Sugimoto of the Jikei University School of Medicine.
Storage
Store at room temperature. Use within 6 months.
Directions for Use
- Prepare a biofilm in a glass bottomed culture dish (35mm diam.). Culture conditions (including medium, temperature, time, etc.) all play roles in biofilm formation; the conditions specific to your microbe of interest must be determined separately.
- After removing planktonic cells and culture medium, add 1% glutaraldehyde solution in PBS and fix at room temperature for 30 minutes. To preserve immunogenicity for immunofluorescence applications, we recommend substituting 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS.
- Remove these glutaraldehyde solution and wash three times with PBS or distilled water.
- Stain using appropriate fluorescence reagents.
- Remove staining reagents and add 500 µL - 1 mL of Clearing Reagent iCBiofilm-H1 (Product No.T4031).
- Observe biofilm using optical microscopy.
