Supplemental Product Information:
"Improved TOMEI (iTOMEI)" is a plant tissue-clearing method that specializes TOMEI for fluorescent protein observation by Prof. Sakamoto et al. iTOMEI enables simply transparency and clearly detecting fluorescent protein. This product is a decoloring reagent for iTOMEI.
This product enables transparency by simple osmosis in just a few days (more than 2 days) and keeps the fluorescence of a fluorescent protein such as GFP or tdTomato co-expressed as a reporter gene. The mounting solution is also required to complete the iTOMEI method. Please check directions for use for necessary reagents.
Storage
The product should be stored at 4 °C.
