Imaging

cycleHCR: spatial mapping of RNA and Proteins

Mapping the locations of RNA in cells and tissues is a valuable technique in biomedical research for understanding fundamental principles and developing assays. Several spatial omics techniques have demonstrated the significance of that knowledge: hybridization methods such as MERFISH and seqFISH, along with sequencing methods like FISSEQ and STARmap, have led to remarkable discoveries.

HaloCaMP: Chemigenetic Calcium Indicators Using HaloTag and Janelia Fluor Dyes

Overview

HaloCaMP integrates circularly permuted HaloTag proteins with a range of Janelia Fluor (JF) dyes to form bright, modular calcium indicators for in vitro and in-cell imaging. This chemigenetic system offers far-red imaging, rapid labeling, and customizable readouts for neuroscience and cell biology.


Key Benefits

WHaloCaMP: Modular, Bright, and Multiplexable Chemigenetic Calcium Indicators

Overview

WHaloCaMP sensors integrate the high-performance Janelia Fluor dyes with genetically engineered HaloTag proteins for modular, tunable calcium imaging in living systems. This platform offers multiple dye options, works in live animals, and supports high-speed, multicolor, and fluorescence lifetime imaging. Fluorescence change in WHaloCaMP results from reversible quenching of the bound dye via a strategically placed tryptophan.

Dyes with a Universal Coumarin Switch for Super-Resolution Microscopy

Overview

A versatile platform enabling the construction of dyes for super-resolution imaging by coupling a coumarin auxiliary to rhodamine dyes. Dyes can be tuned to be either photochromic, with 405 nm activation, or spontaneously blinking at physiological conditions, yielding a palette of dyes in different colors.

Spontaneously blinking JFb dyes

Overview

Applying the tuning strategies inherent in the Janelia Fluor® platform to hydroxymethyl (HM) derivatives of rhodamines yields a palette of spontaneously blinking dyes for super-resolution imaging. These dyes switch between fluorescent and nonfluorescent forms due to transient protonation/deprotonation allowing super-resolution microscopy without the need for redox buffers or strong illumination.
