LumiTracker Mito Rhodamine 123 (CAS: 62669-70-9) is a green-fluorescent dye that selectively stains active mitochondria in live cells based on their membrane potential. It is widely used in cell biology research to assess mitochondrial health, cell viability, and energy metabolism.
Key Features:
- Mitochondrial Specificity: Stains only active mitochondria, making it ideal for live-cell imaging.
- Bright Green Fluorescence: Excites at ~505 nm and emits at ~534 nm, producing strong, clear signals for microscopy and flow cytometry.
- Membrane Potential Sensitivity: Fluorescence intensity reflects mitochondrial membrane potential, indicating mitochondrial health.
LumiTracker Mito Rhodamine 123 Applications:
- Mitochondrial Function Studies: Monitors changes in membrane potential linked to mitochondrial activity and cellular energy production.
- Cell Viability Assays: Measures mitochondrial activity.
- Fluorescence Microscopy and Flow Cytometry: Qualitative imaging and quantitative analysis of live cells.
How to Use:
- Storage: Store at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.
- Solubility: Dissolves well in ethanol (20 mg/mL) and other organic solvents; has limited solubility in water.
LumiTracker Mito Rhodamine 123 is a powerful tool for studying mitochondrial activity, helping researchers explore cellular processes like metabolism, apoptosis, and mitochondrial disorders.
