2-NBDG (solution) 

2-NBDG (solution) is a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog that is used primarily to directly monitor glucose uptake by living cells and tissues. It is also used as a topical contrast reagent for the detection of neoplasia. 2-NBDG can be used in real-time confocal, high-resolution, or wide-field fluorescence microscopy as well as in flow cytometry. The probe can be excited by the Argon laser at 488 nm to give the environment-sensitive fluorescence. It has lower photostability than the rhodamine-based fluorescent probes.
Solution Concentration: 5 mM

Preparation of 2-NBDG working solution
1.1 Preparation of 2-NBDG working solution.
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. The corresponding stock solution can be diluted according to the actual situation. Note that if the solvent is DMSO, the cytotoxicity of DMSO must be considered, and a solvent control should be prepared; if the solvent is pure water, the working solution needs to be filtered and sterilized before adding cells.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of 2-NBDG working solution according to the actual situation.
Cell staining
2.1 For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1,000 g at 4℃ for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4℃ for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL of 2-NBDG working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-60 minutes.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4℃ for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. .If test viability, recorded the optical density (O.D.) at 540/570 nm. Cell viability was calculated as a control ratio and plotted against the logarithmic concentration of the drug to calculate IC₅₀.
