Dear Listers,
when going through the product sheets of Prolong Live (an anti-
photobleaching agent for live-cell fluorescence imaging) and OxyFluor (an
oxygen-consuming membrane fraction of E. coli), I couldn't help but notice
some similarity...

Can someone confirm that Prolong Live is indeed based on OxyFluor?

Which brings up the question: How happy are the cells gonna be in an oxygen-
scavenging environment?

Has anyone tried combining this with refractive index matching, such as
iodixanol (OptiPrep) or Histodenz or other?

Thanks for any tips or comments!

No commercial interest.


Best, zdenek

Dear Zdenek,
our super-res research on the effects of ischemic (hypoxic) environment on
chromatin architecture might be of your interest:
https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-015-0802-2
(here we used a hypoxia chamber to decrease oxygen concentration in culture
atmosphere)

best regards
Aleks
