GolgiChrome Kit

NDT107 GolgiChrome^TM Kit

Price: $600.00

The GolgiChromeTM kit (NDT107) is the first modified and commercialized version of the Golgi impregnation that allows simultaneous visualization of (a) the structural details, (b) the antigens’ characterization, (c) the anatomical interactions between discrete neuronal elements and (d) the 3D reconstruction and modeling of the nervous system through staining for simultaneous metal impregnation and immunohistochemistry.

NDT107 kit is suitable for 4% PFA perfused brains with the optimal preservation of antigenicity of the tissue, which can be co-localized with the iimmunoreactive proteins of interest and Golgi-impregnated neurons. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is recommended to use for acquiring to characterize the neurochemical as well as morphological properties of the individual neurons (Figure 1).

The following examples demonstrate the co-localizations of Golgi-cox impregnated neurons immunoreactive to Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH), TH and Postsynaptic Density 95 (PSD-95) or Synapsin (SynI) of a fully impregnated pyramidal cell (Figure 2).
