Enzo Life Sciences MITO-ID® Membrane Potential Detection Kit includes a dual-emission cationic dye to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in live cells. In energized or active cells, the MITO-ID® Membrane Potential reagent rapidly accumulates as orange-fluorescent aggregates in the mitochondria due to their relative negative charge, while it exists as a green-fluorescent monomer in the cytosol. However, in cells with compromised MMP, the MITO-ID® Membrane Potential reagent exists primarily as green-fluorescent monomers throughout the cytosol and no longer exhibits orange fluorescence in the mitochondria. A widely used uncoupler of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (CCCP) is provided as a positive control for monitoring loss in MMP.
Figure 1: The mitochondria of HeLa cells were stained with MITO-ID® Membrane Potential reagent, and visualized by epifluorescence microscopy. Orange fluorescent aggregates are localized in the mitochondria (Orange channel), while green fluorescent monomers mainly stain the cytosol (FITC channel).
Figure 2: Flow Cytometric Analysis of Control and Treated Cells. Jurkat cells were untreated (left) and were treated with 1 μM CCCP for 15 mins (right). Cells were then stained with Enzo MITO-ID® Membrane Potential Dye, and run on a FACS Calibur instrument.

Product Details
| Alternative Name: | Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation |
| |
| Applications: | Flow Cytometry, Fluorescence microscopy, Fluorescent detection, HTS
|
| |
| Application Notes: | The MITO-ID® Membrane Potential Detection Kit has been optimized for measurement of mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) and cell viability by conventional fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. |
| |
| Quality Control: | In fluorescence microscopy assay, MITO-ID® Membrane Potential dye is a dual-emission probe emitting in the green channel in the cytosol and in the orange channel within the mitochondria. When a perturbing drug such as CCCP is added, the dye exists primarily as green-fluorescent monomers in the cytosol and no longer exhibits orange fluorescence in the mitochondria. Necrosis detection reagent detects dead cells shown in the red channel. |

| Scientific Background: | Cell-based assays for evaluating the functional status of mitochondria are emerging as useful tools for elucidating the role of mitochondrial activity in drug-induced toxicity, the apoptosis cascade and other cellular and biochemical processes. The loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) is often associated with early stages of apoptosis. The collapse of MMP coincides with the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pores, leading to the release of cytochrome C into the cytosol, which in turn triggers other downstream events in the apoptotic cascade. |
| |
| Technical Info/Product Notes: | The MITO-ID® Membrane potential detection kit is a member of the CELLESTIAL® product line, reagents and assay kits comprising fluorescent molecular probes that have been extensively benchmarked for live cell analysis applications. CELLESTIAL® reagents and kits are optimal for use in demanding cell analysis applications involving confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, microplate readers and HCS/HTS, where consistency and reproducibility are required.
