Cas No.: 2530162-00-4
Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
HBC599 is a non-fluorescent HBC mimetic that does not emit light in solution but activates and emits bright fluorescence upon forming a complex with the Pepper RNA aptamer. The complex can be detected using an excitation wavelength of 515nm and an emission wavelength of 599nm[1].

Staining with HBC599 for Live-Cell RNA Imaging
This protocol is adapted from research data and provided for reference only. Adjustments may be necessary based on specific experimental requirements.
(1) Cell Preparation and Transfection: Seed appropriate cells (e.g., HeLa, U2OS) onto glass-bottom dishes or coverslips and culture until they reach 50-70% confluency. Transfect the cells with a plasmid or RNA expressing the RNA of interest tagged with the Pepper RNA aptamer sequence. Incubate for 12-48 hours to allow for sufficient RNA expression.
(2) HBC599 Solution Preparation: Prepare a 1-5mM stock solution of HBC599 using anhydrous DMSO. Aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C protected from light. Dilute the HBC599 stock solution in pre-warmed, serum-free cell culture medium (e.g., DMEM or Opti-MEM) to achieve a final working concentration typically between 0.5 to 5µM. Mix thoroughly.
(3) Cell Staining: Gently wash the transfected cells 1-2 times with warm, serum-free medium or PBS. Completely remove the wash buffer and add the prepared HBC599 staining medium to the cells. Incubate the cells in the staining medium at 37°C, 5% CO₂ for 15 to 30 minutes. Carefully aspirate the staining solution. Wash the cells 2-3 times with warm, serum-free medium or 1X PBS.
(4) Live-Cell Imaging: After the final wash, add a small volume of pre-warmed, fresh culture medium to the cells. Proceed to image the cells immediately on a confocal or epifluorescence microscope. HBC599 fluorescence is typically excited with a 515nm laser and detected using a 599nm emission filter.
Precautions:
(1) The incubation time can range from 30 to 90 minutes with minimal impact on result accuracy; choosing 1 hour is most convenient.
(2) For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during operation.

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
