The new organelle specific mechanosensitive Flipper-TR™ probes are available!

2 October 2020

We introduce new Flipper-TR™ probes that target ER, mitochondria & lysosomes of live cells. Those were developped by NCCR Chemical Biology groups of Aurelien Roux and Stefan Matile in a recent article1)

ER Flipper-TR

Mito Flipper-TR

Lyso Flipper-TR
