[Histonet] Calcein Bone Labeling

From:Pat Flannery

Thom-

Try dissolving the calcein at 1 mg/ml in 2% Sodium Bicarbonate with 0.9% NaCl.  The bicarb makes up for the pH of the calcein. If you want to see the pH difference, try dissolving the calcein in the NaCl first then add the bicarb and you'll see a dramatic color change from dull orange-yellow to brilliant glowing yellow.

Hope this helps.
