General description

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 depends on mitochondrial mass, and not on mitochondrial membrane potential. Signal is lost as mitochondrial membrane integrity is lost during cell death.

The BioTracker 488 Green Mitochondria Dye can be detected using the green FITC/GFP channel. Also, the green staining is not dependent on membrane potential, and can be used to stain both live and fixed cells.
