MitoView™ dyes are fluorogenic mitochondrial stains for live cells. The dyes rapidly accumulate in mitochondria and can be imaged without washing. They are available with blue, green, far-red, and near-infrared fluorescence. MitoView™ Green is a green fluorescent mitochondrial dye with properties similar to those of MitoTracker® Green FM. The dye is non-fluorescent until it partitions into the mitochondrial membrane. The staining relies on mitochondrial mass, not on mitochondria membrane potential. Thus, the dye can be used to stain mitochondria in both live cells and fixed cells. MitoView™ Green is spectrally similar to FITC. Note:
