• Fluorescent stain for mitochondria in live cells
• Long term imaging of mitochondria in live cells

PKmito RED labels mitochondria in live cells with very high specificity. It has extremely low phototoxicity, due to the presence of the intramolecular triplet quencher cyclooctatetraene (COT) group. It accumulates in the mitochondrial inner membrane (IM) and is highly suited to image mitochondrial cristae structure and dynamics.

Key features

• Ab: 549 nm, Em: 569 nm
• Suitable for long term imaging of mitochondria in live cells
• Compatible with widefield, confocal, SIM or STED microscopy

The biological activity of CY-SC052 is assessed by the ability of the probe to efficiently detect mitochondria in live HeLa cell culture.
