MitoCapture™ Mitochondrial apoptosis detection kit

Disruption of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential is one of the earliest intracellular events that occur following induction of apoptosis. The MitoCapture™ Apoptosis Detection Kit provides a simple, fluorescent-based method for distinguishing between healthy and apoptotic cells by detecting the changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential. The kit utilizes MitoCapture™, a cationic dye that fluoresces differently in healthy and in apoptotic cells. In healthy cells, MitoCapture™ accumulates and aggregates in the mitochondria, giving them a bright red fluorescence.
