Coming Soon: HAK-actin a new tool for Expansion Microscopy actin imaging

29 August 2025

Coming Soon: 

U-ExM expanded HeLa cells labeled with HAK-actin™ and DAPI. The z-position is color-coded
HAK-actin™, a new tool for Expansion microscopy staining of actin

To address the recurring challenge of reliably staining actin in Expansion Microscopy, we will soon offer HAK-Actin, a probe compatible with U-ExM, cryo-ExM, and iU-ExM protocols. Its design enables post-expansion labeling, giving you maximum signal and freedom to choose your fluorescent label. You can read more in the BioRxiv preprint: https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.08.26.672318
