Biological Activity for MitoBrilliant™ Live 549
MitoBrilliant probes have been developed to overcome some common limitations encountered with standard mitochondrial trackers, offering clearer answers to scientific questions. They are next-generation fluorescent stains for the localization and tracking of mitochondria in both live and fixed cells. The range harnesses Janelia Fluor® dye technology, conferring some of the properties that make these widely used dyes, into mitochondrial stains.
Key information: MitoBrilliant® Live 549 is an orange-fluorescent mitochondrial stain for live cells, Δψm dependent.
Used for: mitochondrial staining for live cells.
Applications: flow cytometry, high content screening.
Properties and Photophysical Data: the MitoBrilliant® Live dyes accumulate in the mitochondria of live cells in a mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) dependent manner. Upon loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential, the dyes disperse, and so provide a dynamic assessment of the mitochondrial membrane potential in live cells. Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 550 nm and 568 nm, respectively, extinction coefficient = 100,000 M-1cm-1.
Two Live dyes are available: MitoBrilliant™ Live 646 (red emission) and MitoBrilliant™ Live 549 (yellow/orange emission).
A universal stain for mitochondria in both live and fixed cells is also available: MitoBrilliant™ 646.
Please refer to the protocol for guidelines on product use, and download the MitoBrilliant Product Guide to view data for each of the dyes in different applications.
