Fluorescent dyes are getting popularity for last few decades due to their extraordinary applications in cell imaging. We have discovered organic Beet root extracted fluorescent (BREF) dye as an efficient pigment for effective cell imaging. By applying this dye to different types of human cells we obtained very good results in fluorescence cell imaging in case of all types of cells. We also have seen that this dye takes very less internalization time to give very good image of cells and remains stable for sufficiently long period.

Comments
This dye has been used for cell imaging for the first time. This is a new discovery. This gives better imaging of many types of cells compared to other available dyes
