Mitochondria Dyes and Probes: Fluorescent Probes and Dyes

Mitochondria exhibit diverse morphologies across various cell types, ranging from small spheres and tubules with a diameter less than a micrometer to reticular networks spanning the cell. Fluorescent mitochondrial staining and advanced high-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques are used to visualize these intricate and dynamic intracellular organelles, enabling the study of their structure, function, and spatial distribution.

To address limitations associated with standard mitochondrial staining, our sister brand Tocris has developed MitoBrilliant™ probes. These probes provide clearer insights into mitochondrial research. Representing the next generation of fluorescent stains, MitoBrilliant™ probes enable the imaging, localization, and tracking of mitochondria in both live and fixed cells.
