MitoPT JC-1 Assay Kit (100 tests)

• Catalog Number: orb1409953
• Category: Tools
• Description: JC-1 accumulates and fluoresces orange in polarized mitochondria. Following membrane depolarization, JC-1 disperses within the cell and fluoresces green. Analyze using a flow cytometer, fluorescence plate reader, or fluorescence microscopy.
• Target: Mitochondrial depolarization
• Storage: -20°C
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: 1. Prepare samples and controls., 2. Dilute Apoptosis Wash Buffer 1:10 with diH20., 3. Reconstitute FLICA with 50 µL DMSO., 4. Dilute FLICA 1:5 by adding 200 µL PBS., 5. Add diluted FLICA to each sample at 1:30 – 1:60. For example, to stain at 1:30, add 10 µL to 290 µL of cultured cells. To stain at 1:60, add 5 µL to 295 µL of cultured cells., 6. Incubate approximately 1 hour., 7. Remove media and wash cells 3 times: add 1X Apoptosis Wash Buffer and spin cells., 8. If desired, label with additional stains, such as Hoechst, 7-AAD, or an antibody., 9. If desired, fix or embed cells., 10. Analyze with a fluorescence microscope, fluorescence plate reader, or flow cytometer. SR-FLICA excites at 550-580 nm and emits at 590-600 nm.
• Sample Types: Cell culture
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
