ION VITAL – MitoVolt
 
Mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit that uses JC-10, a membrane potential sensitive dye that is more soluble than JC-1.
 
ION Vital – MitoVolt assay kit is the ideal solution for detecting changes in mitochondrial membrane potential due to cell apoptosis or other stress-inducing phenomena. ION Vital – MitoVolt is compatible with fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and plate reader applications.
 
JC-10 is a mitochondrial membrane potential probe. It possesses superior aqueous solubility compared to its better known analogue, JC-1. At low concentrations, JC-10 is monomeric and emits a green fluorescence.
JC-10 accumulates in healthy mitochondria, forming J-aggregates that exhibit an orange fluorescence. Mitochondrial depolarization, a key marker of cellular apoptosis, results in a loss of JC-10 accumulation and a reversal to its monomeric form. This reversible behavior of JC-10 allows for ratiometric analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential, where a shift from orange (Ex/Em: 540nm/590nm) to green fluorescence (Ex/Em: 490nm/525nm) is indicative of compromised mitochondria.
 
ION Vital – MitoVolt can be used to monitor and/or visualize mitochondrial membrane potential as a static endpoint or in real-time. When following our protocol, ION Vital – MitoVolt provides enough reagents to make 25 mL of working solution, enough for five 96-well plates or 500 flow cytometry samples. The actual number of assays will vary according to optimal dye concentrations and assay volumes for your application.

ION Vital - Viability Kit

Two-color, fluorescence-based assay to discriminate between live and dead cells.
 
ION Vital – Viability kit can be used to quantify live and dead cells within eukaryotic cell suspensions or adherent cultures, 3D cultures, organoids, and some non-fixed tissues. Cannot be used for yeast or bacteria. When following our protocol, ION Vital—Viability kit provides enough reagents to make 150 mL of working solution, enough for fifteen 96-well plates or 1,500 flow cytometry samples. The actual number of assays will vary according to optimal dye concentrations for your application.
