JC-1 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Detection Kit
In situ detection of apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential.

Key Benefits:

Cell permeability allow direct measurement of apoptosis and mitochondrial potential in live cells.
Applications - Cells can be analyzed by flow cytometry, 96 well plate reader or fluorescence microscope.
Incubate for 15 minutes, wash and measure.
Add this reagent directly to live cells in your media of choice.

Assay Principle:

Detection of the mitochondrial permeability transition event provides an early indication of the initiation of cellular apoptosis. This process is typically defined as a collapse in the electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, as measured by the change in the membrane potential (YD). Loss of mitochondrial YD is indicative of apoptosis and can be detected by a unique fluorescent cationic dye, 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl- benzamidazolocarbocyanin iodide, commonly known as JC-1. This dye has been incorporated into the user-friendly kit for the simple and reproducible detection of the membrane potential (Y)D event in apoptotic cells. The kit has been formatted for use on flow cytometers and fluorometric plate readers.
