Bertin Bioreagent Myelotracker kit for neutrophil detection

Bertin Bioreagent introduces Myelotracker, an innovative peptide-based probe specifically designed to target lactoferrin — a major protein stored in neutrophil-specific granules.

By binding to lactoferrin, the product enables the precise detection and visualisation of neutrophils, both in fixed tissues and in live cell assays. A key advantage is that it does not activate neutrophils, thereby preserving their physiological state for reproducible results.

The probe has a dual application, labelling intracellular granules in fixed samples. Also, it detects extracellular lactoferrin released upon neutrophil activation, making it a novel tool for studying both resting and activating neutrophils.

The probe has been validated across multiple species, including human, mouse, rabbit and guinea pig, demonstrating its robustness and versatility. It is fully compatible with a wide range of techniques such as tissue imaging, flow cytometry, in vitro assays, and in vivo models of inflammation or infection.

Bertin Bioreagent’s Myelotracker kit is distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Sapphire Bioscience.
