Antibody Quality and Performance Guarantee
| The MitoPT TMRE kit uses a quick and easy staining method to clearly differentiate between non-apoptotic and apoptotic cells through mitochondrial functionality. |
- Reagents in the Kit
- MitoPT TMRE Reagent - lyophilized - to make up 1mM stock
10x Assay Buffer, 125ml (x2)
600uL 50mM carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) concentrate in DMSO. - Test Principle
- An early indication of apoptosis involves a collapse in the electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential can be detected by a unique fluorescent cationic dye known as TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester), that has been incorporated into the MitoPT TMRE kit.
The MitoPT TMRE reagent easily penetrates cells and enters the mitochondria. It aggregates in the mitochondria of non-apoptotic cells and fluoresces bright orange/red, whilst in apoptotic cells it diffuses throughout the cell. Once dispersed, the reagent assumes a monomeric form and exhibits a reduced orange/red fluorescence level. This allows an easy distinction between apoptotic and non-apoptotic fluorescent cells which can be read with a flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence plate reader using black microtitre plates. - Regulatory
