Mitochondrial Membrane Potential MitoPT™ TMRM Kit
The MitoPT™ TMRM kit uses a quick and easy staining method to clearly differentiate between non-apoptotic and apoptotic cells through mitochondrial functionality.
Product Details
- Reagents in the Kit
- MitoPT™ TMRM Reagent - lyophilized - to make up 1mM stock
10X Assay Buffer, 125mL
600uL vial 50mM Carbonylcyanide 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 TMRM (tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester), that has been incorporated into the MitoPT™ TMRM kit.
The MitoPT™ TMRM 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.
