Abstract
Conventional expanded microscopy (ExM) is improved upon to show reliable and reproducible 4-fold and 12-fold modified expansion microscopy (mExM). Kits and methods are disclosed to achieve these improvements. The kits can include a sealable mold and instructions for using it in the improved methods. The kits can include a protein digestion buffer including sodium dodecyl sulfate and instructions for using the buffer in the improved methods. The improved methods can include a simplified approach to executing oxygen-sensitive reactions within the methods. The improved methods can include improved protein digestion chemistries, which can facilitate the improvements in reliability and reproducibility.
