Biological Activity

Rhod-2 AM is a fluorescent, mitochondrial probe (λex=552 nm, λem=581 nm). Rhod-2 AM is cell-permeable version of Rhod-2. The long-wavelength Rhod-2 Ca2+ indicators are valuable alternatives to Fluo-3 for experiments in cells and tissues that have high levels of autofluorescence. Fluorescent probes that show spectral responses upon binding Ca2+ have enabled researchers to investigate changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations by using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers.


PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Rhod-2 AM Stock Solution
Prepare a 2 to 5 mM stock solution of Rhod-2 AM in high-quality, anhydrous DMSO.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

Rhod-2 AM Working Solution
On the day of the experiment, either dissolve Rhod-2 AM in DMSO or thaw an aliquot of the indicator stock solution to room temperature. Prepare a dye working solution of 2 to 20 µM in a buffer of your choice (e.g., Hanks and Hepes buffer) with 0.04% Pluronic® F-127. For most cell lines, Rhod-2 AM at a final concentration of 4-5 μM is recommended. The exact concentration of indicators required for cell loading must be determined empirically.
Note The nonionic detergent Pluronic® F-127 is sometimes used to increase the aqueous solubility of Rhod-2 AM.
Note If your cells contain organic anion-transporters, probenecid (1-2 mM) may be added to the dye working solution (final in well concentration will be 0.5-1 mM) to reduce leakage of the de-esterified indicators.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

Following is our recommended protocol for loading AM esters into live cells. This protocol only provides a guideline and should be modified according to your specific needs.
  1. Prepare cells in growth medium overnight.
  2. On the next day, add 1X Rhod-2 AM working solution into your cell plate.
    Note If your compound(s) interfere with the serum, replace the growth medium with fresh HHBS buffer before dye-loading.
  3. Incubate the dye-loaded plate in a cell incubator at 37 °C for 30 to 60 minutes.
    Note Incubating the dye for longer than 1 hour can improve signal intensities in certain cell lines.
  4. Replace the dye working solution with HHBS or buffer of your choice (containing an anion transporter inhibitor, such as 1 mM probenecid, if applicable) to remove any excess probes.
  5. Add the stimulant as desired and simultaneously measure fluorescence using either a fluorescence microscope equipped with a TRITC filter set or a fluorescence plate reader containing a programmable liquid handling system such as an FDSS, FLIPR, or FlexStation, at Ex/Em = 540/590 nm cutoff 570 nm.

pH Fluorescent Probe Red 600, SE

pH Fluorescent Probe Red 600, SE is a pH-sensitive fluorescent dye, the fluorescence intensity changes significantly with changes in the pH of the environment. pH Fluorescent Probe Red 600, SE is weakly fluorescent outside the cells, but its fluorescence is significantly enhanced in acidic compartments (such as phagosomes, lysosomes and endosomes). It can be used for multiplexing cellular functional analysis with green dyes such as GFP, Fluo-8, calcein, or FITC-labeled antibodies. Ex (nm) 576, Em (nm) 597

DSPE-Rhodamine

DSPE-Rhodamine is formed by the conjugation of DSPE with the Rhodamine fluorescent dye. DSPE possesses a hydrophobic lipid tail and a hydrophilic head group, while Rhodamine is a red fluorescent dye. DSPE-Rhodamine retains the lipid properties of DSPE while also imparting fluorescent labelling capabilities. As a key component of delivery systems, DSPE-Rhodamine enhances targeting and bioavailability. Its lipid properties facilitate the penetration of molecules through cell membranes, while its fluorescent properties enable tracking of distribution and dynamic changes within the body.

LD540

LD540 is a novel high-sensitivity lipophilic dye modified with BODIPY fluorescent groups, designed for precise labelling and imaging of lipid droplets. LD540 exhibits excellent photostability and an optimal fluorescence spectrum, making it compatible with various commonly used fluorescent dyes (such as DAPI and Alexa Fluor 647), thereby supporting multi-colour imaging requirements. Additionally, LD540 is suitable for both fixed and live cells and can label ultra-small lipid droplets.

PDMPO

PDMPO (Yellow/Blue DND-160) is a ratiometric probe for the determination of lysosomal pH for fluorescence imaging. PDMPO exhibits pH-dependent dual excitation and dual emission peaks. PDMPO produces blue fluorescence (Ex/Em=329 nm/440 nm) in weakly acidic organelles, and in more acidic lysosomes it becomes yellow fluorescence (Ex/Em=384 nm/540 nm).

Copper probe CF4

Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is a Cu+-specific fluorescent probe based on a rhodol dye scaffold. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) has high copper selectivity with a Kd value of 2.9×10-13 M, particularly over zinc and iron, as well as abundant cellular alkali and alkaline earth metals. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is stable in a physiologically relevant pH regime between 6 and 8 (wavelengths of 415 nm for excitation and 660 nm for emission). Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) can be used to study colon cancer.
