Application

Isolated Mitochondria Staining Kit has been used to assess mitochondrial inner membrane potential.

Features and Benefits

  • Fast, simple, and convenient method for staining isolated mitochondria and for assaying mitochondria intactness
  • Contains all the reagents required for the detection of changes in mitochondrial inner-membrane electrochemical potential
  • Contains the antibiotic Valinomycin that permeabilizes the mitochondrial membrane, and thus, dissipates the mitochondrial electrochemical potential. Valinomycin can be used as a control agent that prevents JC-1 aggregation

Principle

The kit is based on mitochondria staining using the JC-1 dye. In normal cells, the JC-1 dye concentrates in the mitochondrial matrix where it forms red fluorescent aggregates. Any event that dissipates the mitochondrial membrane potential (e.g. apoptosis) does not allow the accumulation of JC-1 dye in the mitochondria. The dye is detected using a fluorimeter or fluorescence microscope.

Analysis Note

The kit measures mitochondria intactness and detects events that dissipate the mitochondrial membrane potential.
