Find the best tools to study Mitochondria
A mitochondria is a multifunctional organelle, it is formed with an outer membrane, a highly invaginated inner membrane containing cristae, and a matrix. They are not only involved in energy production in a cell, but other additional cellular functions. Finding the role of mitochondria in cell physiology and pathology will help researchers to enhance the progress of modern medicine.

Iron ion (Fe2+) | Calcium ion (Ca2+) | Lipophilic peroxide | Singlet oxygen | Superoxide | |
Reagent | Mito-FerroGreen | Rhod2-AM | MitoPeDPP | Si-DMA | MitoSOX |
Principle | A cell-permeant fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and specifically reacts with ferrous ion in mitochondria to emit green fluorescence. | A cell-permeant fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and specifically reacts with calcium ion in mitochondria to emit red fluorescence. | A cell-permeant fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and specifically reacts with lipophilic peroxides in mitochondria to emit fluorescence. | A cell-permeant fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and specifically reacts with singlet oxigen generated in mitochondria to emit red fluorescence. | A cell-permeant fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and reacts with superoxide generated in mitochondria to emit red fluorescence. |
Live Cell Staining | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Staining Time | 30 min | 30-60 min | > 15 min | > 45 min | > 10 min |
Ex / Em | 505/535 | 553/576 | 452/470 | 644/670 | 510/590 |
Mitophagy | Membrane Potential | |||
Reagent | Mtphagy Dye | Keima-Red | JC-1 | TMRM, TMRE |
Principle | Mtphagy Dye (included in Mitophagy Detection Kit) is a pH-sensitive fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and emits red fluorescence due to acidic conditions in a lysosome. | A pH-sentitive ratiometric fluorescent protein. The excitation spectrum changes accoring to pH. This protein shows high fluorescence ratio (Ex. 550 nm/440 nm) values in a lysozome. | A cell-permeant ratiometric fluorescent dye that accumulates in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. The excitation spectrum changes according to the mitochondria membrane potential. | Cell-permeant fluorescent dyes that accumulate in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. Diffusion of the probes occurs in a damaged mitochondria that has the decreased membrane potential. |
