Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences BioTracker 405 Blue Mitoch

Supplier:  Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences SCT135

Mitochondria are organelles found in large numbers in most cells in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occurs. In metabolically active cells mitochondria produce a membrane potential by maintaining a proton gradient across the inner and outer membranes. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential is a hallmark for apoptosis and poor cell health.BioTracker Mitochondria dyes are fluorogenic stains for staining mitochondria in live cells. The dyes are membrane permeable and become brightly fluorescent upon accumulation in the mitochondrial membrane. Staining is lost when mitochondria become depolarized during cell death allowing monitoring of cell viability. The BioTracker 405 Blue Mitochondria Dye can be detected using the blue DAPI channel.Spectral PropertiesAbsorbance 398nmEmission 440nm
