6-NBDG 

6-NBDG is a fluorescent glucose analogue, it can be used for fluorescence imaging and monitoring glucose transport and uptake. 6-NBDG can be used as a fluorescent probe for detecting macrophage-rich atherosclerotic plaques^[1][2].

Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Incubate sample with RPMI (without glucose) containing a final concentration of 200 μM 6-NBDG.
2. Use a curved forcep to embeds sample into the mixture, and stretches the samplet through a drop of agarose (40°C, 20 μL) places on a pre-heated (40°C) glass slide.
3. Gently place another preheated glass slide on the top of sample, so that the whole sample embeds into the agarose-6-NBDG mixture.
4. Take confocal images with a confocal laser scanning microscope (Ex: 471 nm, Em: 500–600 nm)^[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
