LumiTracker® Mito Red FM is a red-fluorescent dye that selectively stains active mitochondria in live cells based on their membrane potential. It easily crosses cell membranes and accumulates in active mitochondria, making it ideal for studying cell health and mitochondrial function through live-cell imaging.
Key Features:
- Specific Mitochondrial Staining: Targets active mitochondria, ensuring clear and precise visualization.
- Bright Red Fluorescence: Excitation at ~590 nm and emission at ~643 nm, perfect for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
- Live-Cell Imaging Only: Stains live cells effectively but loses fluorescence after fixation with aldehydes.
Applications:
- Mitochondrial Studies: Helps visualize mitochondrial distribution, structure, and membrane potential.
- Cell Health Assessment: Monitors mitochondrial activity, which indicates cell viability and overall health.
How to Use:
- Storage: Store at -20°C, away from light and moisture, for long-term stability.
- Solubility: Dissolves well in organic solvents like DMSO, DMF, and ethanol.
LumiTracker® Mito Red FM is an essential tool for researchers exploring mitochondrial dynamics, energy production, and cell viability in live-cell imaging experiments.
