Description

Mitotracker Red CAS NO 167095-09-2 is a cell-permeant, fluorescent dye specifically designed for labeling mitochondria in live cells. This compound is valued for its high specificity and retention, making it a critical tool for dynamic studies of mitochondrial morphology, function, and health. It is essential for researchers and professionals in cell biology, neurobiology, cancer research, and toxicology who require reliable, high-contrast imaging of mitochondrial networks.

Application

• Live-Cell Mitochondrial Staining: Primary application for visualizing mitochondrial distribution, mass, and membrane potential in a variety of cell types.
• Apoptosis and Cell Health Assays: Used to monitor changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, a key early indicator of apoptosis and cellular stress.
• Neurodegenerative Disease Research: Employed in studies investigating mitochondrial dysfunction in models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurological disorders.
• Cancer Research: Applied to assess metabolic activity and mitochondrial health in cancer cell lines and tumor models.
• Cardiotoxicity and Hepatotoxicity Screening: Utilized in pharmaceutical development to evaluate drug-induced mitochondrial damage.
• High-Content Screening (HCS): Suitable for automated imaging platforms for large-scale compound screening based on mitochondrial phenotypes.
• Co-localization Studies: Can be used in multiplex assays with other organelle-specific dyes for comprehensive cellular analysis.

Quality Control

Our Mitotracker Red is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for critical research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC purity analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and functional validation in cell-based assays. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) containing purity, absorbance/emission profiles, and performance data is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store desiccated at -20°C. The product is light-sensitive and should be handled in subdued light. Solutions prepared in DMSO or other appropriate solvents should be aliquoted and stored frozen to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
